CHARLOTTE – Last year at Green Bay, the Panthers secondary was searching for confidence. This year, with the Packers traveling to Bank of America Stadium for Week 9, the Panthers secondary has plenty of it. "No doubt about it. Confidence is a great tool to have," said safety Kurt Coleman, part of a defense that ranks seventh-best against the pass with 229 yards allowed per game. "We believe in what we’re doing."
During the 29-26 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night, quarterback Andrew Luck tested the Carolina defensive backs deep downfield on multiple occasions and they answered the challenge, recording 10 of the team’s 14 pass breakups.
