Baker Mayfield and the Carolina Panthers dropped their third game in four tries this season, putting up an uninspired performance in a 25-16 defeat at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Despite holding a 10-3 lead at the half, Carolina’s offense couldn’t get it going. Making his fourth start as a member of the team, Mayfield completed 22-of-36 passes for 197 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He also lost a fumble and averaged a mere 5.5 yards per attempt.
Following the game, embattled Panthers head coach Matt Rhule would not commit to Mayfield being their starting quarterback Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers and their elite-level defense.
