Some encouraging signs for the Carolina Panthers to take from the 2020 season.
As many expected beforehand, the 2020 season was an eventful one for the Carolina Panthers. There was a significant amount of upheaval both to the playing and coaching staff throughout the preparation period, which was further hampered by COVID-19 restrictions resulting in limited face-to-face time and no preseason fixtures to build chemistry.
In some respects, the campaign was a “what might have been” scenario for the Carolina Panthers. Their eventual 5-11 record would have looked far different had they not gone 0-8 on game-winning or tying drives in close-fought contests, so they might not be too far away from mounting a playoff push if they can make strides in the coming months.
