Panthers flub extra point after tying Falcons on Hail Mary in final seconds

The Hail Mary by the Panthers was great; the PAT attempt wasn’t

If you can succeed in the XFL, thriving in the NFL is nothing, um, right?

PJ Walker was a star in the XFL and Sunday he had the Atlanta Falcons seeing stars.

It wasn’t quite a knockout blow but when a quarterback throws a 62-yard touchdown pass when down 6 with 23 seconds to go it is a flash knockdown.

Of course, nothing totally good can happen for the struggling Panthers.

Eddy Pineiro came on to kick the PAT with 12 seconds left and was wide.

The game was tied at 34 and headed to OT.

Ouch, double ouch.

The ping-pong game on the scoreboard:

If Panthers fans weren’t apoplectic about the missed PAT, they had to be in overtime.

Carolina intercepted Marcus Mariota and Pineiro came on to try a 32-yard field goal that would have won the game.

Would have being the key words. He missed, again.
