Carolina (5-6) is set to host Washington (2-9) in a Week 13 game that is of little national relevance. The Carolina Panthers showed signs of life last week in a losing effort against the New Orleans Saints, but it was too little, too late to stop the Panthers now inevitable slide out of the playoff race. That life might continue into this game, but Panthers fans would do well to remember what happened the last time they saw their favorite team face a two-win opponent.
