With their quarterback struggling, the Panthers needed somebody else to step up and make an impact. They just got a pair of them from their standout rookie on the first plays of the second half.

On the very next play, Chinn improbably picked up another fumble – this one by Dalvin Cook – and returned that one for a touchdown, too.
Jeremy Chinn just strips Dalvin Cook and takes it back for his 2nd TD on back to back plays lol pic.twitter.com/A9IuiI88l1

What a turnaround.
The Panthers now lead 21-10 early in the third quarter.
