According to Sports Illustrated, it doesn’t sound like the Carolina Panthers first NFC East game (vs. Dallas, September 9) is TOO tough. As for Carolina fans, to believe the defense can dominate like the last time they played on, ohhh, Thanksgiving 2015, will be waiting for validation. While that Super Bowl year was obviously special overall, that was actually a point where many Charlotte fans *did* begin to believe a big year was happening. While unbeaten to that point, *everybody* knew Dallas, and once the Panthers went in and dominated, winning DID seem more real.
Panthers motivated to make ‘believers’ in 2018
