CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Sam Darnold threw for a touchdown and recovered his own fumble for another score in his first game of the season, helping the Carolina Panthers beat the Denver Broncos 23-10.

Darnold was making his first start since Week 18 last year. He completed 11 of 19 passes for 164 yards without a turnover. D’Onta Foreman ran for 113 yards on 24 carries, and receiver D.J. Moore broke out of a midseason slump with four catches for 103 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown.

The Panthers limited Russell Wilson to 19 of 35 passing for 142 yards and sacked him three times, sending the Broncos to their seventh loss in eight games.

Broncos' league-worst scoring offense has another dud

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The combination of rookie coach Nathaniel Hackett and high-priced veteran quarterback Russell Wilson continues not to work out for the Denver Broncos.

Wilson turned in another lackluster performance in a 23-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

Denver is last in the league in scoring. The Broncos have scored fewer than 17 points in nine of 11 games.

Wilson says the team needs to work hard to start develop winning habits.

Hackett referenced the absence of injured receivers Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler as factors in the Broncos' offensive falloff.
