If you're referring to the final Panthers play, it was 4th and 25. They didn't have any plays that worked inside the redzone, so I doubt they had anything in the playbook for 4th and 25.
The whole game was hot garbage. Panthers long drives ended with field goals (or turnovers), Seahawks had two turnovers in the redzone, including one in which the center rolled the ball to Wilson. The game between them last year was terribly played as well.
This season is pretty much a lost season. I knew they'd blow. They are still trying to get out of the salary cap hell the previous GM put them in. Doesn't help that one of the better DE in the game won't play again because of the domestic violence blow-up.
I was referring to that play, and obviously no team has a great play for 4th and 25, but just ~6 minutes prior on 3rd and long from roughly the same field position he hucked it up into tight coverage to his 6'5" receiver at midfield who came down with the ball between arguably the best CB in the league and arguably the best FS in the league.
Both the play and Cam's demeanor on that play were a surrender. He looked like he was ready for the game to be over and he just wanted to expedite the ending.
Hard to call the Panthers' season over, though: they still lead the South. It's not like team's haven't ever turned it around in a season to play better than they had down the stretch.
