10-10 at end of 1st quarter: Gamble pickoff sets up a FG

The Panthers have tied the game at 10-all thanks to Chris Gamble's interception of a Jay Cutler pass.

That was the first time the Panthers have stopped Denver in 3 possessions. Chris Harris tipped the pass and then Gamble performed his own juggling act, tipping the ball a half-dozen times before picking it off.

With the ball inside Denver's 30, Carolina had a great chance to score. However, the Panther offense then misfired, with a Delhomme pass batted away on third down. John Kasay's 39-yard field goal tied the game at 10 just before the first quarter ended.

One possible injury note: Jonathan Stewart got hit just above the knee and clutched it in obvious pain. He hasn't returned.
