See how each Carolina Panthers offensive unit performed during the first half of the 2018 season.

It’s hard to believe the Carolina Panthers 2018 NFL season is already one-half complete but after their eighth game, the season’s midpoint has arrived. Carolina is currently 6-2, trailing the New Orleans Saints by one game in the division and on pace to record back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in franchise history.

Playing only two NFC South opponents to this point, there remains plenty of opportunity for challenging the Saints atop the division. However, Atlanta currently is a couple back but rebounding from some earlier losses and appears poised to contend again as well.

Expected to be a tight race before the season began, it’s shaping up to be another dramatic finish in the division as the season concludes. Before we move forward, let’s take a look back at how each positional group is performing so far.

Following are the grades earned by each offensive unit for their performance during the first half of the year.
