Both the Carolina Panthers and Miami Dolphins have endured up and down seasons to this point in the year. Carolina is riding the momentum of two straight divisional wins and Miami has lost two in a row after winning three straight.
Following Sunday’s results, the Panthers are faced with a near must-win game after both the Saints and Falcons dominated. In fact, each of the three other NFC South divisional teams were victorious meaning a Carolina loss would be detrimental.
Opposite, Miami would benefit from a win after New Orleans defeated Buffalo. The Dolphins offense has been sporadic but Jay Cutler enjoyed a productive game albeit in a losing effort last week.
