One year ago the Carolina Panthers suffered their first home loss in 15 games to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3 of the regular season. Carolina is 6-5 since and looking to rebound from a critical divisional loss to New Orleans a week ago.
The Panthers are currently 3-2 at home and beginning a streak of three straight games inside of Bank of America Stadium. Currently clinging to a playoff berth, the home field advantage for Carolina down the stretch will be pivotal for the team.
Minnesota has won eight straight, including a hard ought victory over Atlanta last week.
