Panthers Offense

For the second straight week Carolina faces, statistically, the worst defense in the NFL. Is any aspect of the Panthers offense a legitimate cause for concern?

Ziegler: There is certainly a lot of talent on offense for the Panthers that the Patriots should worry about. After allowing 30-plus points to Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith and Watson, it’s hard to believe that the Patriots’ defense will all of a sudden fix their problems.

If Newton can find his groove, the Patriots will likely give up a lot of points once again.

Carolina will be without veteran center Ryan Kalil, tight end Greg Olsen and rookie wide receiver Curtis Samuel on offense against the Patriots.
