Wildcard weekend was not kind to former Carolina Panthers quarterbacks Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield. Darnold led the Minnesota Vikings to a 14-2 record, one game off the #1 seed, but flopped in his playoff debut, losing 27-9 to the Los Angeles Rams. Mayfield at least put up a fight with his Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Washington Commanders, but ultimately fell in a tight, 23-20 contest.
That leaves only Teddy Bridgewater, a recently signed back-up quarterback for the Detroit Lions, as a former Panthers quarterback still in the running for a 2024 Super Bowl ring.
