Two weeks are in the books for the Panthers, and they find themselves in a familiar spot, winless, and the outlook looking bleak for the rest of the season, after yesterday’s 27-22 loss to the Cardinals, in a game where Carolina trailed 27-3 in the third quarter. Sure, the run defense looked much improved from Week 1, and Bryce Young has established a connection with first-round draft selection, Tetairoa McMillan, but costly turnovers and poor game management derailed any chances of them winning, prior to a comeback, aided by a special teams mistake on an onside kick.
