The Carolina Panthers needed a win against the Buffalo Bills to keep their (mostly mathematical) playoff hopes alive. Instead, they left Orchard Park with a 31-14 loss in the latest setback of what was once a promising season. After starting 3-0, Carolina has lost nine of the last 11 games to fall to 5-9 on the year.
