No. 1: Offense has to limit turnovers

Kyle Allen has done an excellent job of not throwing interceptions. In three NFL starts he has yet to throw a pass to the other team. However, last week against the Houston Texans he fumbled three times with all three getting picked up by the Texans defense.

In the Week 3 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, Allen fumbled twice and lost one to the Cardinals defense.

Hopefully, Allen will get adjusted to NFL hits and be able to hold onto the ball better. With the Jaguars and the Panthers being such an even matchup, every offensive possession is extremely important.

The good news for the Panthers’ offense is that All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey is questionable to play in the matchup.

If Allen can continue his streak of passes thrown without an interception as well as cut down on the fumbles, then the Panthers should have a great opportunity to get their first home win of the season.
