After starting the season on the right foot, Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold has looked just as bad as he did for the New York Jets.

He already has two interceptions in the game versus the New England Patriots and the game still has a quarter to go. Darnold on the season has eight interceptions, which are more than the seven touchdowns that he has.

Darnold and the Panthers are 4-4 on the season and from the looks of things, they're going to be 4-5 after this game versus the Patriots.

Not only did Darnold throw an interception, but the Patriots also took it back to the house and were able to put seven points on the board because of it.
