Carr came in to relieve San Francisco&#8217;s Alex Smith, who was injured, and threw an interception late in the game with the score tied. The Carolina Panthers moved in close enough for John Kasay to kick a game-winning 37-yard field goal.<\/p>\n<p>Carolina moves to 1-5 while San Francisco falls to 1-6.<\/p>\n<p>Carr came in at the third quarter and threw a well underthrown pass on third down. He finished with a 58 quarterback rating going 5 of 13. When he was with the Panthers in 2007, he threw five interceptions and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Marshall intercepted the pass that set up the game-winning field goal by Kasay, who earlier hit a 53 yarder.<\/p>\n<p>The Panthers, trailing 20-13 late in the game, tied the score when rookie David Gettis, who earlier dropped a pass in the end zone, made a diving TD reception with 1:53 left.<\/p>\n<p>Panthers&#8217; QB Matt Moore finished 28 of 41 for 308 yards and two touchdowns and an interception.<\/p>\n<p>Things won&#8217;t be easy for the Panthers as they play only two teams with losing records the rest of the way, including the 3-4 St. Louis Rams next week.<\/p>\n<p>While neither team is happy with its season, 49er fans seem to be particularly distressed as the 49ers were expected to be a contender for the playoffs. <\/p>\n<p>As David Fucillo, a Bay Area contributor for SB Nation, wrote, &#8220;Well, just when I was wondering how the 49ers could find a new way to kick us in the junk, they do it. The 49ers dropped another nail-biter 23-20 to the Carolina Panthers thanks to an incredibly soft secondary and the loss of Alex Smith to a sprained shoulder. While I do think the 49ers probably win this game if Alex Smith does&#8217;t get hurt, I also think the team could have still won the game if the defense, and the secondary in particular, showed a little bit of aggression on those last couple drives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Buffalo Bills, overtime losers to the Baltimore Ravens, are now the only winless team left in the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quarterback David Carr finally has helped the Panthers &#8211; three years after playing with them.
