At 1-7 entering Week 9, the Carolina Panthers had little to no (closer to no) playoff hopes left. And in what’s become an annual occurrence for their fans, who haven’t seen their team play football past the regular season since the 2017 campaign, “draft season” arrived a bit early.
But something funny has happened over the last two weeks—they’ve actually won . . . twice!
The Panthers captured their second straight victory this past Sunday. Clinched by a game-winning field goal by kicker Eddy Piñeiro, the 20-17 walk-off triumph over the New York Giants moved the team to 3-7 heading into their bye.
Ok, yeah, those playoff hopes are still pretty much non-existent. So, yeah, where the Panthers currently stand in the draft queue remains more pertinent than where they stand in the postseason race.
