CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Maybe a team should’ve drafted Haynes King. The rookie quarterback ran in from the 5 on the final play to give the Carolina Panthers a 33-30 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in the Hall of Fame game that kicked off the NFL preseason on Thursday night.
King, who was the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year last season at Georgia Tech, was 21 of 34 for 180 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for 39 yards and the winning score.
“Well, that was a lot of fun. Just the back and forth of it. Just a really good game,” Panthers coach Dave Canales said. “The guys were resilient and finish is what we preach as a team. We practice for these situations, end of half, end of game. ... Haynes did a fantastic job, just keeping the play alive, doing whatever he had to do, run it, throw it. Really proud of the group.”
Carson Beck also had an impressive debut for Arizona. After Beck left, Kedon Slovis tossed a 1-yard TD pass to Bryson Green with 1:55 remaining to give the Cardinals a 30-27 lead. But King rallied the Panthers for the comeback.
无选秀新秀四分卫海恩斯·金带领黑豹队以33-30逆转战胜红雀队
俄亥俄州坎顿（美联社）——或许某支球队本该选中海恩斯·金。这位新秀四分卫在比赛最后一刻从5码处冲入达阵，为卡罗来纳黑豹队以33-30战胜亚利桑那红雀队，开启了NFL季前赛的名人堂比赛。
金在乔治亚理工大学上赛季被评为大西洋海岸联盟年度最佳球员，他的传球完成率为21次中的34次，传球码数为180码，达阵两次。他还冲球39码，打入制胜达阵。
“这真是太有趣了。比赛的来回交替，真是一场精彩的比赛，”黑豹队教练戴夫·卡纳利斯说。“队员们展现了韧性，终结是我们作为团队所倡导的。我们为这些情况进行训练，半场结束和比赛结束时的情况……海恩斯做得非常出色，保持了进攻的活力，做了他必须做的事情，冲球、传球。我为这个团队感到非常自豪。”
亚利桑那的卡森·贝克也有令人印象深刻的首秀。在贝克离场后，凯登·斯洛维斯在比赛还剩1分55秒时传出了1码的达阵球，帮助红雀队以30-27领先。但金带领黑豹队完成了逆转。
