Rookie Moore leads Panthers over Seattle
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Matt Moore got into the huddle late in the first half Sunday and froze.

''I just couldn't get the play out of my mouth,'' Moore said. ''Guys were like, 'Come on! Come on!'''

Moore kept his mistakes to the huddle.

Becoming the fourth quarterback to start for the Panthers this season, Moore engineered three scoring drives in the fourth quarter and outplayed two-time Pro Bowler Matt Hasselbeck, as the Panthers stunned the Seattle Seahawks 13-10.

In a bizarre game played in a strong wind and which remained scoreless for more than three quarters, Moore didn't turn it over and the Panthers defense turned in its best performance of the season.

The victory quieted talk, at least for the moment, of coach John Fox's job security, and was a rare bright spot for a team that lost starting QB Jake Delhomme to a season-ending right elbow injury in Week 3.

''I would bet most people didn't give us a chance to win,'' defensive end Mike Rucker said.
