The Carolina Panthers need a better start to win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera needed his team to overcome the largest fourth-quarter deficit and biggest point differential ever (17) for a win last week. Fortunately, quarterback Cam Newton turned three consecutive possessions into touchdowns and quality defensive play earned them the victory.

Their first win on the road this season the Panthers moved to 4-2 and remain in the midst of a tight divisional race with playoff implications. Every NFC South team won last week and with Atlanta on a bye in Week 8, each will play weekly from now until the end of the season.

In a schedule loaded with divisional matchups on the back end, keeping pace during these middle weeks will be key as Carolina faces their toughest home opponent, to this point, on Sunday. The Baltimore Ravens defense provides stiff competition in addition to quarterback Joe Flacco and his group of wide receivers.

Continue to see how the Panthers can secure another home win ahead of their second NFC South showdown next week.
