BOCA RATON, Fla. -- The biggest regret from Super Bowl 50 for Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera, other than the outcome?
The curfew.
Rivera had dinner with his team captains and the wives of those who are married four weeks after a 24-10 loss to Denver in Santa Clara, California.
Afterward, they discussed everything from offseason workouts to training camp to what happened in the Super Bowl. The one thing that came up several times was the curfew, set at midnight Sunday through Friday and 11 p.m. the night before the game.
While for the most part the curfew was self-imposed by the players, the meeting revealed it created a situation that wasn’t normal.
