The Carolina Panthers are not a good team, but they did do the first thing that good teams have to do: they took care of business against a bad team. The game was never really in doubt after the teams traded an initial salvo of punts. The Panthers faked a punt on fourth and short, scored a touchdown a few plays later for the first score of the game, and never looked back. They never trailed in this game. This is what getting better looks like. Successfully doing things that are expected of good teams, things that these same Panthers weren’t capable of as recently as a few weeks ago.
