The Carolina Panthers (6-4) are in a bit of a bind.
In Sunday’s 20-19 road loss to the Detroit Lions, Carolina made entirely too many mistakes. Balls were dropped, the Panthers left four points out in the ether when placekicker Graham Gano missed a field goal and an extra point, cornerback James Bradberry gave up two explosive plays for touchdowns and quarterback Cam Newton misfired on an open two-point conversion attempt for the go-ahead score.
It was the Panthers’ second straight loss, and a poor response to a 52-21 drubbing by Pittsburgh 10 days earlier.
Carolina needs a fix.
