Raiders scored again in 2nd half, when Callahan himself reached the end zone for a TD.
Panthers stroke before end of 3rd Q. when McManus found Martin Sindler on 1yard line. In the very next play Veikka Lehtonen scored first TD on home field this season, decreasing the margin to 7:28.

Callahan added another score in 4th Q. and the scoring ended by Pascal Maier’s 18yd field goal.
