Panthers’ penalty problem risks throwing away a winnable NFC South
The Carolina Panthers have 70 accepted penalties so far this season (635 yards) in eight games — an average of 8.8 penalties (79.4 yards) per game.
This makes them the second-most-penalized team in the NFL and the team with the most penalty yards per game.
After 13 penalties (119 yards) in their loss to the Denver Broncos, it’s clear that Carolina is struggling with this issue.
Carolina Panthers won't get anywhere without solving their discipline issues
The Panthers are currently 3-5, and with the NFC South still in reach, they can't keep giving away penalties through poor execution or discipline.
