Over the last four years the NFC South’s Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, and New Orleans Saints have been among the league’s better teams. The Panthers have gone 39-25, the Saints 38-26, and the Falcons 36-28 in the regular season since 2015 and each team has made the playoffs twice. Oh, I almost forgot, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are also a professional football team with a pirate ship in their end zone.
Despite their regular season success, the Panthers, Saints, and Falcons are becoming synonymous with choking in the playoffs.
