CHARLOTTE – Just when the Carolina Panthers appeared to have another victory well in hand, things threatened to get out of hand.
The Panthers managed to regain the upper hand when it mattered most, but only after too much drama for head coach Ron Rivera's comfort level.
"The thing I would like to see is for us to make it a little easier on ourselves," Rivera said after his Panthers lost a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter but rallied to remain unbeaten with a 29-26 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football.
"We missed opportunities, but we showed resilience again with the opportunity to win the game at the end," Rivera continued.
