This will be the third straight year that Carolina plays Washington. In 2018, Adrian Peterson ran wild against the Panthers, averaging 5.71 yards per carry in a six-point win. Last year, Carolina had even more trouble stopping the Reedskins rushing attack. Peterson and Derrius Guice combined for 228 yards and three touchdowns. Stopping the run will be crucial for the Panthers if they’re going to avoid a third-straight loss to an inferior team.
