Were there any silver linings for the Carolina Panthers in Week 10?

The Carolina Panthers won’t be examining the tape of their Week 10 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for too long. An embarrassing 43-26 loss to their NFC South rival came thanks to a disastrous second-half performance that ensured a fifth-straight loss and head coach Matt Rhule now staring at a 3-7 record.

Everything went wrong after the break. But it’s not like this is a rare occurrence.

Sufficient adjustments aren’t being made by the coaching staff and for some reason unbeknown to those on the outside looking in, the players are suffering a significant drop-off in effort and production, especially in the third quarter.
