CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers didn’t win the Super Bowl on Sunday, as wide receiver Robbie Anderson reminded everyone in the locker room after snapping a nine-game losing streak that was the longest in the NFL.
“Some people might get caught up in the moment and get comfortable,’’ Anderson explained of his message after the 22-14 victory over the New Orleans Saints. “We’ve got a long way to go for our goal.’’
But the win may have revealed the Panthers' team identity under coach Matt Rhule -- and it has little to do with the offense and quarterback Baker Mayfield.
