The dust is now beginning to settle on a demoralizing loss for the Carolina Panthers, who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory once again in their heart-breaking 28-27 reverse at the Minnesota Vikings. This was a crushing result whichever way one looks at it and just what it is going to do for their aspirations down the stretch remains to be seen.
And yet, things could have been so different. A win for the Carolina Panthers would have reignited their slim playoff hopes after the Cardinals were beaten by Cam Newton and the Patriots.
