Panthers...25 Cardinals...10
- Share via
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Vinny Testaverde hit Steve Smith for a 65-yard touchdown pass, DeAngelo Williams ran for 121 yards and a touchdown and the Carolina Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 25-10.
Testaverde’s touchdown pass gives him at least one in 21 straight seasons, extending his NFL record and helping Carolina improve to 4-2.
The teams played with quarterbacks who weren’t on the roster the previous Sunday -- Tim Rattay for Arizona (3-3) and Testaverde.
Rattay went into the game when starter Kurt Warner sprained his left elbow in the first quarter.
At 43 years 335 days, Testaverde is the third-oldest quarterback to start a regular-season game in NFL history. Steve DeBerg started at 44 years 279 days old on Oct. 25, 1998, and Warren Moon was 44 years 8 days old when he started Nov. 26, 2000. Testaverde was 20 for 33 for 206 yards and a touchdown.
Quoteworthy: “I told you you couldn’t overthrow me.” -- Steve Smith, Panthers receiver, to Vinny Testaverde
