Panthers at Rams: Defensive Preview

Where has that defense been all season? The Panthers were finally able to get consistent pressure on the quarterback and limit a strong albeit inconsistent Cardinals offense. The Panthers were able to sack QB Carson Palmer 8 times on the day, including a career high 3 from Star Lotulelei. Perhaps even more impressive than that was how well the Panthers contained David Johnson. The second year pro has been a star in 2016, racking up over 100 yards of total offense in every game this season. While Johnson did finish the game with 108 yards of total offense, it took a 21 yard catch and run against the Panthers prevent defense on the final play of the game to get there.
