Carolina Panthers: Case for winning record better than playoff hopes

A three game Carolina Panthers losing streak, consisting of a prime time kicking by the Pittsburgh Steelers, a blah, hugely disappointing 20-19 loss to a Detroit Lions team that ended on a failed two-point conversion, and a tough 30-27 home loss to Seattle have rightfully caused all sorts of worry about a weak pass rush and how the 2018 season will work out regarding playoff hopes.

When star running back Christian Mccaffrey scores with both a run and pass, knocking out BIG plays while going 17/125 rushing and catching 11 passes for 112 more yards, and Cam Newton hits 25/30 passes (256 yds, 2 TDs/1 INT) plus eight rushes for 63 yards, it doesn’t feel like the offense is failing to hold up its end of things.
