Get your Week 16, one of two Carolina Panthers games remaining, started here.

The Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts have both already been eliminated from playoff contention and each is struggling to win football games. Both were 5-3 at the midpoint in 2019 but they have lost a combined 10-in-a-row leading up to this week’s matchup. Barring an outcome in a tie, one will leave Lucas Oil Stadium victorious but it will have little impact other than on draft pick positioning.

Carolina has lost six in a row, leading to the firing of Ron Rivera before interim coach Perry Fewell dropped his first two. Inconsistent play from backup quarterback Kyle Allen forced Fewell and the Panthers to give rookie Will Grier an opportunity to lead the offense over these final few weeks.

Indianapolis is 1-6 in their last seven games and was dismantled on national television last week by Panthers NFC South rival, New Orleans. Struggling on both sides of the football, something has to give when these two teams meet up this week.
