5 sacks and 19 tackles for Kawann Short in October. Panthers have won first two Defensive Player of Month awards - Josh Norman and now KK.

Josh Norman won the award in September, and now Kawann Short wins it for October. That's two for two for the Panthers

This is just the second time the #Panthers have had two NFC Defensive Players of the Month in a season ('08 - Beason/Oct, Peppers/Nov).

So two Players of the Month and neither are Luke Kuechly. Decent defense, eh?

KK is the 11th Panther to earn the honor but the first defensive tackle.

Now to go for the hat trick and have Luke or TD get it in November.

Now to go for the hat trick and have Luke or TD get it in November.

My thoughts exactly...  Would love to see TD get it.

So we have the best DT, the best CB, and the best LB in football?  Imagine if we had a DE that was above average?  Best defense in the NFL?  I think so.

Those are eye-popping stats for a DT.

Actually, those would be great stats for a rush DE.

What a month for KK. I think this guy is still criminally under-appreciated by our fans.
