Which Buffalo Bills players must the Carolina Panthers keep quiet to stand any chance of pulling off a significant upset in Week 15?
Just a few weeks remain in the 2021 NFL season and the Carolina Panthers are in the midst of a full-blown collapse after their 3-0 start that feels like ages ago.
The Panthers are now on a three-game losing streak and have lost eight of their past 10 games. Things certainly don’t get any easier in their final four contests before the 2021 season comes to a conclusion.
With the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers still on their schedule twice, along with the division-rival New Orleans Saints, Carolina will first have to travel to face the Buffalo Bills in Week 15.
Known as Carolina North, with so many former Panthers players and staff still in Buffalo, the Bills have been struggling this season after making it all the way to the AFC Championship game last year.
Since starting the season 4-1, Buffalo has gone just 3-5 and clinging onto their playoffs hopes.
Carolina Panthers have their work cut out at the Buffalo Bils.
With that said, they’ll likely be very determined to have a good game against the Panthers and right the ship.
Former Carolina defensive coordinator Sean McDermott has been Buffalo’s head coach for the past few years, and former Panthers assistant general manahger Brandon Beane is the team’s man in charge in the GM role.
The Bills also have six former Carolina players on the active roster: Mario Addison, Vernon Butler, Star Lotulelei, Efe Obada, Andre Smith and Daryl Williams. Bryan Cox, Jr. is on he reserve/injured list and A.J. Klein is currently on the COVID-19 list.
This game has the potential to be fun, but with the Panthers struggling so much, it could also be a blowout in Buffalo’s favor. With that said, here are five players that Carolina has to keep quiet.
