With a victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, the Carolina Panthers would have had an opportunity to clinch their first NFC South title since 2015 in their next game. But the Panthers lost to the Saints 20-17 and will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday with the teams tied for the division lead.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales called the rule concerning hitting a sliding quarterback a "difficult challenge" for defensive players, after an unnecessary roughness penalty on Lathan Ransom set up the New Orleans Saints' game-winning field goal in Sunday's 20-17 loss.

The Panthers still can win the NFC South, but the path to do that is much more difficult than if they'd beaten the Saints.

The Jets have named a new defensive coordinator, replacing a former Panthers interim head coach with a former Panthers safety.

I don’t want to get into the specifics of the breakdowns, of all that, but these are base calls that we have to be more connected on.”

Carolina Panthers safety Lathon Ransom took accountability for his disastrous penalty late against the Saints.

Panthers DL Tershawn Wharton injured his hamstring this weekend in, perhaps, one of the weirdest ways possible.
