Panthers rookie Lathan Ransom goes from goat to hero in one week after game-clinching interception
Ransom intercepted Baker Mayfield with 42 seconds left, securing a 23-20 win that put the Panthers in first place in the NFC South, one week after a costly penalty.
- On Dec 21, 2025, Carolina Panthers rookie safety Lathan Ransom intercepted Baker Mayfield in the fourth quarter at Bank of America Stadium, sealing Carolina's 23-20 win and sole NFC South lead.
- Flagged last week for unnecessary roughness, Ransom hit sliding Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, a 15-yard penalty that improved the field goal chance and helped New Orleans Saints win.
- Ransom leaned on veteran Panthers defenders Jaycee Horn, Derrick Brown and Mike Jackson, who praised his mature response and advised him to focus forward after last week's criticism.
- Week 18 now becomes a win-or-go-home scenario as Panthers coach Dave Canales greeted Ransom with a hug and praised his play after the game.
- To overtake Tampa Bay, Carolina Panthers will need more big plays from Ransom and other young players, with the fourth-round pick from Ohio State key to their playoff push.
