After a much needed respite the Panthers have an opportunity to put their skills to the test with a game that is shaping up to be a prime time defensive shootout. After being held to zero touchdowns against the Redskins, the Forty-Niners remain undefeated through week eight of the regular season. This week they’ll welcome a formidable pass defense headlined by one of their former first-round picks.
Besides “The Enforcer” coming to town, the Panthers have a slew of defensive talent to put pressure on Jimmy G. all day. Vernon Butler’s performance raised some eyebrows the last time we saw him.
