The Panthers took a tough loss heading into the bye week, hoping to use that as fuel for the fire. Unfortunately, it was the Panthers’ defense that got torched on Sunday against Joe Flacco Drew Lock and the Broncos. The offensive line also struggled, Teddy was Teddy, and the absence of CMC and DJ Moore exacerbated the offensive issues. @I can’t imagine what this performance did to the Panthers’ spots in the Power Rankings.@ Here is what ESPN had to say:
27. Carolina Panthers (4-9)
Week 14 ranking: 19
Offense: 17
Defense: 23
Special teams: 26
Let’s simplify this.
