After Carolina’s 9-3 win Sunday over Buffalo, Julius Peppers said of the current Carolina Panthers team: “This is the best defense I have ever played on.”
For a 16-year veteran who has never been prone to hyperbole, that’s quite a quote. Peppers repeated it a few minutes later, to make sure everyone understood what he was saying.
Is it really? Too early to tell. But there is no doubt that the 2017 Panthers defense is off to the finest defensive start in team history.
Never before have the Panthers not allowed a touchdown in their opening two games.
