The Carolina Panthers return home for a Week 8 contest against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Carolina Panthers return home after a dreadful three quarters of football were followed by one of the greatest in franchise history. Down 17 points, quarterback Cam Newton led three consecutive touchdown drives made possible by a solid defensive effort that was needed to secure the win.

It was the largest fourth-quarter comeback ever for Carolina, keeping the Panthers in second among their division as every NFC South team won last week. Carolina has their second of six divisional matchups next week (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) but first a visit from the Baltimore Ravens looms.

Baltimore is 4-3 with losses to the Bengals, Browns and Saints after kicker Justin Tucker missed his first ever extra point attempt that would have sent the game into overtime last week. The Ravens boast a top defense in the league statistically, allowing just 280 yards per game and 14 points, making things tough for the Panthers offense.
