Panthers vs Titans key matchups: Brian Burns needs to get back to his winning ways

The Carolina Panthers got beat badly by a San Francisco 49ers team that won basically every player on player matchup last week. This game gives the team an opportunity to rebound, and with that, some individual opportunities to shine.

Brian Burns didn’t play a whole lot last week as he dealt with a wrist injury combined with a game situation that required the Panthers to field a little more “beef” on the defensive front to combat the 49ers rushing attack. Obviously, that didn’t work out so well. That said, Bruce Irvin appeared to return to form on the left side, a spot where he will also get help from stud Panthers pass rusher Mario Addison.
