After one preseason game, where do the Carolina Panthers rank…

The Carolina Panthers showcased a few highlights but also had moments of weakness against a familiar Buffalo Bills team last week. Winning 28-23, Carolina is set to host the Miami Dolphins this week at Bank of America Stadium.

Miami fell to divisional rival Tampa Bay in their preseason opener on a late field goal after allowing the Buccaneers to march down the field after a go-ahead touchdown. The Dolphins have a revamped defensive line and should be competitive in the 2018 season.

Carolina has been projected near the top of the league but their division is expected to provide a tough road for the playoffs. Last year three teams entered with New Orleans winning ahead of Carolina and Atlanta.

One game is in the books for every team so continue to see what results had an impact on the Panthers standing moving forward.
