There has been a lot of talk surrounding the Carolina Panthers defense lately and how they have played. The talk is deserved as, following a lackluster performance on Thursday, there seems to be more holes in the defense than originally thought. Coming through the statistics, I stumbled upon a number that was very troubling. The Carolina Panthers are at the bottom of the league in sacks, and that is a number that needs to be higher.
Currently, the Panthers ranked 23rd in the league with 17 sacks on the season. That puts them in a tie with the Chicago Bears, the Los Angeles Rams and the Baltimore Ravens.
