Panthers finish with consecutive winning seasons

For the first time in franchise history, the Carolina Panthers will have consecutive winning seasons. The team finished with an 11-5 record and this year are predicted to finish with that same record.

This certainly won’t be easy in a division with the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints, two teams that are expected to be some of the best in this conference. These four games, combined with the four NFC East teams on the schedule will be tough for the Panthers to achieve this.

However, the Panthers on paper, and what they have shown this preseason, appear to have made the right moves with this franchise to compete with the best of the best in the NFC. This season appears to be setting up to be special and will be historic if they are able to finish the year with a winning record.
