Panthers drive for touchdown

Carolina drove 66 yards on nine plays, scoring on a 7-yard pass from Jake Delhomme to tight end Kris Mangum. Mangum was tackled by Bengals safety Madieu Williams and linebacker Landon Johnson. But Mangum reached the plane of the goal line before his knees hit the ground. The Bengals challenged the ruling on the field, but it was withheld on replay.

With 2:09 remaining in the first quarter, the Panthers have had the ball for 9:48, the Bengals 3:03.

The Panthers have 95 total yards, the Bengals 16 with no first downs.
