The Panthers came into today’s game against the Steelers with a faint hope of winning the NFC South if they could pull off a win to keep up with the Buccaneers in a divisional race that no one wants to win, but they simply couldn’t get the job done and fell to 5-9 on the season after being thoroughly dominated at the line of scrimmage by Pittsburgh in today’s frustrating 24-16 loss.
The Panthers clinched their fifth straight losing season with today’s loss, and it’s disappointing to see Carolina dominated in the run game the way they were by the Steelers today.
