CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Some say that nothing is original, and they may be right.
The new-look Carolina Panthers offense has been exciting through three games, and the rebuilt receiving corps has been a significant part of the electric injection.
Before last Sunday’s offensive firestorm, Carolina was ranked in the bottom half of the league in both yards and points per game. However, they were also placed at thirteenth in the NFL in yards per play and fourth overall in first downs per play.
So, while the Carolina Panthers offense hadn’t been a tremendous force, it had been remarkably efficient in the opportunities it had been given – indeed, Carolina was only eighteenth in plays run per game.
