This should be a fun preseason finale for the Carolina Panthers.

The Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers will face off in the final preseason game of the 2019 season. With the Panthers coming off a loss last Thursday and the Steelers coming off a win on Sunday, these two teams are headed in opposite directions at the moment. Even still, it should make for a fun game.

As you may recall the Panthers lost to the Steelers in the finale last year. With owner David Tepper once a part of the Steelers and the Panthers themselves looking for a bit of revenge for the Thursday night debacle last season, this game has a lot of storylines. Perhaps the biggest one of them all is the fact that this is a game for players who are on the bubble to make their final impressions. They need to make good ones, or else they will be sent packing. It may sound cutthroat but that is just the way of life in the National Football League.

I take a look at three key things to watch out for on Thursday.
