Panthers prove they can contend for a playoff spot despite loss

GREEN BAY, Wisc. -- The Carolina Panthers lost 24-16 to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Lambeau Field, but showed they might have what it takes to remain a contender in the NFC playoff hunt for the duration.

And quarterback Kyle Allen, despite a costly interception, may have earned a little more respect by taking this one down to the final play inside the Green Bay 1.

Playing in a hostile environment in a steady flurry of snow the Panthers (5-4) went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the NFC.
