If it feels like it’s been nearly eight months since you’ve seen the Carolina Panthers score a touchdown, well, that’s because it has.
The Panthers last found the end zone on Christmas Eve 2023, in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Green Bay Packers, on a TD pass from Bryce Young to the now-departed D.J. Chark. They didn’t score at all in the final two regular-season games last year, then fired a lot of people, then got only a late field goal in their first game of the Dave Canales era — a 17-3 slog of a preseason loss at New England.
