The Carolina Panthers got crushed by 49ers, Kyle Allen lost his first game as Panthers starting quarterback as Carolina fell to the 49ers in San Francisco, 51-13.

 KYLE ALLEN had never lost in the NFL. He was 5-0 as a starting quarterback entering the Week 8 clash with the unbeaten San Francisco 49ers.

That run came to an end with a thump at Levi’s Stadium.

He also threw his first career interception – three of them, unfortunately – in Carolina’s 51-13 defeat.

“It’s football, man. Stuff’s not always going to go your way,” Allen said. “I think as a team we’re going to learn from this film, we’re going to learn from what we did, and it starts with me especially. I’m going to learn from what we did and we’re just going to move on from it and not make the same mistakes twice.”

Entering the game, Allen acknowledged what everyone knew – this was going to be his toughest test to date, without question.

The 49ers boast arguably the league’s best defense. They sure looked like it on Sunday against the Panthers, sacking Allen seven times, six of which came in the first half.

“They didn’t blitz much, their D-line just did a really good job of rushing. I tried to come into the game and get the ball out of my hands quick as much as I could, but D-line did a really good job,” Allen said. “There were definitely a couple of sacks that were completely on me. Just get the ball out of my hand or get it to the check down.”
