Panthers

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

B.Young's 32-yard strike to J.Coker and the scramble to set up a go-ahead drive should have been enough, but the defense surrendered the T.Shough-to-C.Olave touchdown with 2:33 left, and L.Ransom's unnecessary roughness flag handed New Orleans the field position for C.Smyth's game-winner. Coker's fumble on the final snap was just the autopsy. The real verdict: a defense that collapses on the one drive that matters is the same problem this fanbase watched all of last year.
