The Carolina Panthers’ schedule can kind of be divided into three clear segments, both because 18 is divisible by three and because each of those segments has its own common thread that runs through it.
The first part of the Panthers schedule is the easiest part. Here are the games:
- Week 1: at Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday, September 7th at 1:00 PM ET
- Week 2: at Arizona Cardinals, Sunday, September 14th at 4:05 PM ET
- Week 3: vs Atlanta Falcons, Sunday, September 21st at 1:00 PM ET
- Week 4: at New England Patriots, Sunday, September 28th at 1:00 PM ET
- Week 5: vs Miami Dolphins, Sunday, October 5th at 1:00 PM ET
- Week 6: vs Dallas Cowboys, Sunday, October 12th at 1:00 PM ET
None of the six teams the Panthers play in the opening stretch of the season had a winning record last season.
