Panthers Sweep Chiefs at Home

Everything went right for an unstoppable Carolina team yesterday as the Panthers led a stampede over the Kansas City Chiefs in a 34-0 shutout. The 1-4 Chiefs came off a 33-19 win against Denver last Sunday perhaps a bit overconfident, setting themselves up for the embarrassing defeat that ensued in yesterday’s slaughter at Bank of America Stadium.

While Kansas City had just eight first downs and 127 yards of total offense during yesterday’s game (just 35 of it on the ground), Carolina answered with a blood-thirsty Jake Delhomme completing 14-of-22 passes and 236 yards with his first-career three-touchdown game. Another standout Panther in yesterday’s matchup was DeAngelo Williams, who ran for two touchdowns and caught a scoring pass in the game, ultimately getting a career-high 123 yards with 20 carries in the game.

Yesterday’s game against the Chiefs was Carolina’s fourth regular-season shutout in team history, following one versus Tampa Bay (24-0) in 1996, at New Orleans (13-0) in 1997 and versus St. Louis (15-0) in 2006. On the other end of that spectrum, the shutout was Kansas City’s first since December 28, 2002, when the Chiefs lost to Oakland 24-0.
