Where do the Carolina Panthers sit in the national NFL power rankings ahead of their Week 2 clash against the New Orleans Saints?

The Carolina Panthers made things much tougher for themselves in Week 1 against the New York Jets than it should have been.

A 19-14 victory could – and perhaps should – have been more convincing, especially considering the dominance portrayed by Phil Snow’s defensive unit throughout.

It’s all part of the learning curve. And it’s worth remembering that things will obviously get better the more familiar they become with the scheme and each other.
