After a somewhat unexpected handling of the up and coming Arizona Cardinals, the Carolina Panthers put the league on notice: Trevor Lawrence will not be coming to Charlotte. After a performance like that, the national media rightfully adjusted this week’s power rankings. Here’s ESPN:
22. Carolina Panthers (2-2)
Week 4 ranking: 29
FPI chance to make playoffs: 17.9%
Two wins in a row give the Panthers optimism toward sliding into the final playoff spot.
