History

The Panthers have done well against the Colts in the past, going 5-2 in their seven matchups. Indianapolis won the most recent meeting though, a 38-6 blowout back in December 2019. Nyheim Hines scored two touchdowns on punt returns, while Christian McCaffrey was held to just 54 rushing yards.

What’s at stake?

After last year’s preseason was cancelled, Carolina didn’t get to see what P.J. Walker or Will Grier could do before the season began. This year, these games are even more critical, as coach Matt Rhule says he’s not sure if the team will keep two or three quarterbacks on the roster. Whoever performs better against the Colts could gain the upper hand in the QB2 battle.
