Which Miami Dolphins players must the Carolina Panthers keep quiet in Week 12 to get a win before heading into the bye week?

The past few weeks have been eventful for the Carolina Panthers after bringing back Cam Newton but a loss to the Washington Football Team last week brought the team back to reality.

Carolina is now 5-6 after what looked like a potential season momentum changer when Newton arrived. However, there are still some big problems that need to be sorted out.

Against Washington, the defense was very bad, which is a surprise considering how good they’ve been this season. There are some cracks on the Panthers and the coaching hasn’t done very well, either.

Unlike past years, the Panthers didn’t have an early bye week and won’t get it until after their pivotal clash against the Miami Dolphins.

Therefore, Carolina has to get the win this week to feel good about themselves entering a much-deserved break for players, coaches, and fans.

Carolina Panthers are still in the playoff hunt.

In an NFC that is in all types of shambles, the Panthers are very-much still in the playoff hunt and really control their own destiny. The Dolphins started this season 1-7 but have silently won three straight games and are back in the AFC playoff hunt themselves.

If Carolina doesn’t get back on track this week, it’ll be an uphill battle coming out of the bye week.

Without further ado, here are five Miami players that the Panthers must keep quiet in order to help their chances of winning Sunday.
