Carolina Panthers: 3 matchups to circle on 2020 schedule

Players and coaches will say that every game is treated equally but fans know that isn’t true. The Carolina Panthers have some key matchups in 2020.

The Carolina Panthers play in one of the toughest divisions in the league. The NFC South will have a ton of great matchups throughout the season. However, the six division games are not the only important matchups that the organization will play in 2020.

One of NFL coaches favorite mantras to live by is taking one game at a time and that no single game is bigger than another. In a sense this is true. After all, a win against the best team in the league and a win against the worst team in the league count all the same for the Carolina Panthers.

But as fans, we know better. We know that division rivalries can be significantly more important than games outside the division. We also know that matchups against players or coaches who played or coached for both teams can cause bad blood and be taken personally.

The new-look Panthers have no shortage of motivation in 2020. The team features a coaching staff that will get their first chance to shine in the NFL. They also have many new players that will be able to face off against their former teams.

Read on to see what three matchups fans should be excited about this season.
