There’s a lot of, Oh, no, what’s wrong with the Carolina Panthers sentiment going around this week. Fortunately, it’s not contagious.
There’s nothing wrong with the Panthers, other than that, at the moment, they are members of the NFL’s vast middle class.
Eleven teams, Carolina among them, have lost two games and 10 teams have lost three. That’s the league’s middle class.
The other 11 teams are outliers. The Los Angeles Rams are the only team without a loss, and only two teams, the New Orleans Saints and the Kansas City Chiefs, have one loss.
