The Carolina Panthers continued their home stand with another win, keeping pace in the NFC South and forcing a meaningful final two weeks of the year. With only four total games remaining, three teams are still eligible for the divisional championship depending on how things play out.
A champion could be crowned by the end of Sunday’s early games, though that would be bad news for the Panthers. A loss to Tampa Bay, coupled with a New Orleans victory gives the Saints their first title since the 2011 regular season.
If Carolina wins, they can at least secure a spot in the playoffs thought the seed will be up in the air until after Week 17.
