The dust has now settled on another close game that eventually got away from the Carolina Panthers. Their 33-31 loss at the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs saw Matt Rhule’s men come within a missed field goal on the game’s final play to secure the shock of the 2020 season so far and it was a largely encouraging performance on the whole.
This scenario is something we’ve seen all-too-often with the Carolina Panthers in recent weeks. They’ve been able to mix it with the NFL’s best without quite doing enough in the closing stages, so when they figure out how to turn these hard-fought losses into wins, the sky is the limit.
