After rushing for a 1-yard score to put the Panthers up 14-0, Panthers quarterback Bryce Perkins got this remark from his teammate.

“Come on!”

Down 20 points late in the third quarter, Battlehawks wideout Hakeem Butler reeled in a 12-yard touchdown pass with one hand to inject some life into his team.
