The Panthers were dominated by the Colts in all three phases in today’s 38-6 loss, their seventh in a row. They also did plenty of damage to their own cause, including a tempter tantrum by defensive tackle Vernon Butler in the third quarter. Butler threw a bunch at tight end Jack Doyle and flipped fans off on his way out after getting ejected.
To his credit, Butler apologized for his actions after the game.

Butler is playing in the last year of his rookie contract. It will be difficult to justify giving him an extension given the way he’s conducted himself.
