Which Carolina Panthers players exceeded expectations vs. the Lions?

The sign of a good team is rising to the occasion when the chips are down. This is also an indication of character and something the Carolina Panthers showed in no uncertain terms during their dominant 20-0 victory over the Detroit Lions at Bank of America Stadium.

Matt Rhule won’t let his team quit. The Carolina Panthers might be a lot better than their 4-7 record suggests and they showed significant improvements on both sides of the ball to secure a rare shut-out win that snaps a five-game losing run and gets the pendulum swinging in a positive direction once again.
