The Carolina Panthers (5-8) head to western New York on Sunday to take on the Buffalo Bills (7-6). The Panthers have lost eight of their last ten games after starting the season 3-0. Meanwhile, the Bills haven’t had the season they envisioned. They’ve lost four of their last six games after starting the season 5-2.
The Panthers get to visit a familiar foe in former defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, now the Bills head coach. McDermott was defensive boss in Carolina from 2011 to 2016. Meanwhile, Bills general manager Brandon Beane worked his way up the Panthers’ executive ranks over a 19-year stint before being hired by Buffalo in 2017.
