The Carolina Panthers responded to their crushing overtime loss to Atlanta in the worst possible way, getting routed, 42-21, by the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Just when it seemed that these efforts were a thing of the past, Steve Wilks Panthers put up the stinker of the season in Cincinnati.PJ Walker earned his fourth start of the season but was benched after halftime thanks to his two first-half interceptions and 0.0 passer rating. Baker Mayfield finished the game, leading three second-half touchdown drives. The Panthers now enter a short week with Atlanta coming to Charlotte for Thursday Night Football. Who will earn the start, Mayfield or Walker? Could Sam Darnold be an option?Shaq Thompson and several Panthers players said that they were battling to earn Wilks the full-time coaching gig but after Sunday's effort and a 1-3 record as interim it's hard to see Panthers owner David Tepper being impressed by Wilks' outfit. Did Sunday's loss end Wilks' chances of earning the job?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the candidates you want to talk to, faster. Post your job for free at LinkedIn.com/LOCKEDONNFLBuilt BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
