The Carolina Panthers like to make things difficult for themselves. Nobody makes football look harder, and this eventually became their undoing once again during a dramatic defeat to the Arizona Cardinals.
It initially appeared that the contest would be a blowout for a long time. The Cardinals were in complete control, up 17 at the half and cruising to their second triumph in as many games to start the campaign.
Then, everything changed.
The Panthers showed some heart. They finally saw things go their way. And unbelievably, head coach Dave Canales' squad had the chance to win the game after an onside kick fell in their favor.
