The Carolina Panthers finally announced their arrival in the 2025 season, after putting together their most complete performance in recent memory with a shutout of the division rival Atlanta Falcons.
It was the much-maligned Ejiro Evero who left with the most praise. His unit created three turnovers, including a pick-six. Such was the dominance of the Panthers that we even saw a rare appearance by Kirk Cousins, as Michael Penix Jr. was benched in the fourth quarter.
With the home opener out of the way, the Panthers have another road trip to prepare for, this time travelling up to Gillette Stadium to face Charlotte native Drake Maye and the New England Patriots.
