Despite just a 3‑3 record, the Panthers hold the lead in the NFC South thanks to a tie‑breaker over the Atlanta Falcons.

They'll look to bounce back after an embarrassing home blowout against their division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, where they lost 43‑13 with a season‑high four turnovers.

The Bucs won that game with just 64 total passing yards as Carolina struggled to stop the run, giving up 258 yards on the ground.
