I traveled 2,000 miles to take my sister to her first NFL game on Thursday, and the night did not disappoint.
The crowd was electric, CJ took his game to another level, and Trevor Siemian looked pretty good except for the few times he looked staggeringly terrible. But the reason the defending Super Bowl champions are 1-0 is because the wild pack of hyenas that Wade Phillips calls a defense completely took over the game. Here are the Panthers 2nd half possessions:
5 plays, 19 yards – Punt
3 plays, 0 yards – Punt
3 plays, -7 yards – Punt
2 plays, 6 yards – Interception
10 plays, 57 yards – Field goal
12 plays, 28 yards – Ganooooooooooo!
