Panthers defeat Raiders inspite of Delhomme's 4 turnovers

The Carolina Panthers game with the Oakland Raiders was closer than many may have expected. Carolina squeaked by with a 17 to 6 win. Turnovers kept the Raiders in the game.

Jake Delhomme threw four interceptions as the Panthers came out flat and appeared uninterested as times. However DeAngelo Williams had 140 yards on 19 carries to help the struggling offense.

John Beason led the team with 11 tackles with 4 assists. But Julius Peppers finally had that breakout game we have been waiting for. Peppers had 7 tackles 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles as he unleashed the Beast on the Raiders.

The Panthers did show some promise as they won despite the 4 turnovers. In the Tampa game earlier this season, the Cats went flat after one big play by the Bucs.
