Panthers desperate for big win
Hitting the road today, the Panthers are hoping they can find a way to turn things around and finish the year strong. Carolina enters this week with a record of 4-8 overall, putting itself in third place in the NFC South. Things just have not fallen in place for the Panthers this year, leading to the struggles.
Carolina has yet to string together back-to-back wins this season. However, things are slightly better as of late, winning two of the last three. The Panthers took down the Denver Broncos by 13 points in their last outing and they then got a bye week to rest and heal any injuries.

The Panthers are now all-in on Sam Darnold at quarterback entering this game. Carolina recently released Baker Mayfield during the bye week, leaving it all in the hands of Darnold. Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo is making it clear that the Panthers’ struggles are not entirely on the quarterback position.
“Sometimes we expect a little too much from the position,” McAdoo said, according to the team website. “It’s a challenge out there. Every time you play a team or see something on the tube, it’s ‘This quarterback versus that quarterback.’ It’s a team game; it’s the ultimate team game, and these guys need help, right?
“They can’t go out there and do it alone. Sometimes we think they can go out there and do it alone, but it’s the ultimate team game. You need to play team football. You need to support these guys as much as you can and as many ways as you can to give them a chance to be successful there.”
