Yesterday was almost fun. The now 0-6 Carolina Panthers entered the home stadium of a Miami Dolphins team with the most prolific passing offense in the league and a defense that led the NFL in quarterback hits. Nobody predicted any degree of success for the Panthers and everybody was, eventually, correct. The first quarter, however, was all Carolina. The Panthers put up two touchdown drives that looked poised and intentional against a disjointed pair of Miami three-and-outs.
Injuries started to mount on defense for the Panthers, the offense started to fall apart, the Dolphins scored 35 unanswered points, and the rest was history.
