A gut-wrenching loss in week one has the chance to get wiped away quickly with a Thursday kick-off against the Buccaneers. What will it take for the Panthers to even up their record at 1-1 and secure an important division win? Here are your three keys to the game.
1. Win the turnover battle
It’s a simple key, but an important one. It’s not far-fetched to say that the Panthers could be 1-0 if a couple of bounces go their way. The unfortunate backwards pass fumble combined with the Panthers inability to recover the ball hitting the ground a handful of other times, they lost the turnover battle 3-1 to the Rams.
