CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Several members of the Carolina Panthers jokingly referred to being on the “worst 5-0 team" in the NFL after Sunday’s 27-23 victory at Seattle.
It was in response to being referred to nationally as the worst of the unbeaten teams heading into their showdown with the defending NFC Champions.
It’s an “us-against-the-world" mentality that coach Ron Rivera said won’t go away.
