“It’s hard to get into a rhythm playing a snap here or a snap there. It’s about getting into your groove,” Burns said. “When you’re a pass rusher you have to set up your rush. You can’t just come in for one third down and then two series later coming in for another third down – it’s going to be...

NBC Sports Panthers rank: 18th (9th in NFC) NFC South: Saints 5th, Falcons 23rd, Buccaneers 27th Beyond the numbers: The Panthers fell one spot after Sunday's loss, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. Florio said that before the Panthers can decide on what to do with quarterback...

A step forward in the run defense One of the positives Rivera was able to take away from Sunday’s loss came in the run defense. The Panthers entered the matchup allowing the sixth-most rushing yards in the league and were just a week removed from giving up 163 yards on the ground to Green...

“We’ve got to be able to protect him,” head coach Ron Rivera said of Allen. “It was unfortunate that we didn’t protect the quarterback the way that we’re capable of. We have too many good football players not to do a better job. But I also want to give the other team credit, too.” Rivera is...

Allen’s first mistake came on Carolina’s first possession. Facing a third-and-4 from his 31-yard line, Allen felt pressure almost immediately after the snap. At that moment, he appeared to think about throwing 15 yards downfield to DJ Moore. But as Allen was getting dragged down by defensive end...

Quarterback Kyle Allen tossed four interceptions, was sacked five times and the Panthers were penalized eight times for 68 yards. Carolina finished just 2-of-14 on third downs. “Just a comedy of terrible football,” Olsen said. “It just snowballed. It’s tough. We all had our fair share. When...

Luke vs. Julio … again? The two star players were matched up in memorable play back in 2015, and the Panthers weren’t on the right side of it. Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones leapt over the Carolina linebacker for a sensational 70-yard touchdown in that game a few years ago, and Kuechly...

CHARLOTTE – Cornerback Donte Jackson is good to go for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Jackson entered the game questionable with a hip injury. Jackson's status became even more important after Carolina ruled out cornerback Ross Cockrell with a quad injury. Also, rookie offensive...

The Big Headline In the first half, everything that could go wrong for Kyle Allen did go wrong. On Carolina’s first possession, the offensive line collapsed around the second-year quarterback. Instead of taking the sack on third down, Allen tried to get rid of the ball with a risky pass that...

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Christian McCaffrey became the first player in NFL history with 1,000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in the first 10 games of a season.

The Panthers will need to start fast An early touchdown is always nice, but scoring early has proven to be an effective way to beat the Falcons this season. So far, Atlanta has been outscored 150-63 in the first half, and 93-33 in the second quarter. The Panthers haven’t necessarily excelled...

GREENSBORO, N.C. – “We’d like to grow together with you.” That was Panthers team president Tom Glick’s message during his closing remarks at a special session with regional business leaders. The event, which was co-hosted by Deloitte, was held at the Grandover Resort & Conference Center. The...

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– “Last week is behind us,” Jones said. “It’s on to Carolina now. All of our focus is on them. Divisional game, they know us, we know them. It’s going to be a hard-fought game. We expect that, but we’ll be ready to go.”

Really, this rivalry stuff seems more like fodder for media and fans. It’s fun to get excited about, but players seem to have a different perspective. They are, after all, expected to be professionals. “That’s one of the top five things that I learned when I got into this league is there’s a...

The Panthers (5-4) need a bounce-back win to keep pace in the hotly contested NFC playoff race. But the Falcons (2-7) are coming in hot having just knocked off the Saints down in New Orleans. It was the biggest upset of the NFL season so far, and Atlanta is obviously determined to get a win...

CHARLOTTE - Carolina will be without one defensive back on Sunday and a starter in the secondary is questionable. Cornerback Donte Jackson (hip) went through practice reps for the first time on Friday, listed as a limited participant. His game status is questionable and he'll be monitored up...

CHARLOTTE - Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey has been selected as one of 32 nominees for the 2019 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. Each NFL team selects a deserving nominee for the sixth annual award which recognizes players who best demonstrate the qualities of on-field...

While Davis’ role may not be as defined yet, Elder’s looks a little bit more concrete. After No. 1 cornerback James Bradberry missed last week’s matchup with Green Bay and cornerbacks Donte Jackson and Ross Cockrell suffered lower body injuries, the Panthers secondary is looking thin. That’s...
