Even when it was pretty, the Carolina Panthers offense kept finding ways to get ugly in Week 8.

Down 27-13 with just under 11 minutes left in Thursday night's matchup against the Green Bay Packers, the Panthers kept themselves alive. Carolina pieced together a gutsy 12-play, 70-yard drive that reached the end zone on an impressive catch-and-run by wideout Jalen Coker.

But instead of sending out kicker Ryan Fitzgerald to make it a seven-point game, head coach Dave Canales opted to go for two points. The try would fall short, as a pass from quarterback Bryce Young was tipped and unable to find its way into the hands of either receiver Tetairoa McMillan or tight end Darren Waller.

Although the failed attempt didn't ultimately matter, with the Panthers losing to that 27-19 score, Canales was asked about the questionable call afterwards.

"For me, it was about knowing what you're gonna do on the next one," he replied. "So, felt good about that one. We had a nice play that we really liked, based on what they were doing. Had an opportunity there in the back of the end zone. But unfortunately, had two guys in the same spot really going for the ball.

"And that's another thing, too—is when we put the ball in Bryce's hands, he created, he extended and he had a couple of guys open there. They [Packers] did a great job of getting their hand on the ball, getting it tipped."

Green Bay was able to get to Young consistently, pressuring him on nearly 50 percent of his dropbacks. Young ended up eating six sacks on the evening.
