One of the biggest statistical oddities about the 2018 Carolina Panthers is how opposing teams are scoring against them. To begin the season, four of the first six touchdowns the Panthers defense gave up were on the ground. Since then, 20 of the last 22 touchdowns the Panthers have surrendered have been through the air.
Let me say that again: 20 of the last 22 touchdowns scored against Carolina’s defense have been on passing plays.
Through Week 10 the Panthers defense has given up 22 passing touchdowns, a mark that is second worst in the NFL and trails only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 23.
