Things you need to know from Panthers.com

 

  • The Panthers defense recorded six sacks on Deshaun Watson. After an eight-sack day last week, the Panthers have recorded 14 sacks in the last two games, one shy of the franchise record of the 15 sacks in Weeks 16 and 17 of the 2013 season.
  • Carolina's 18.0 sacks were tied for first in the NFL with New England after the early afternoon games of Week 4.
  • Carolina made two big takeaways on defense, one interception deep in their own territory to stop a potential score and a strip-sack in the final five minutes to help seal the win.
  • Houston managed just 128 net passing yards after averaging 277.7 yards per game over the first three weeks. Carolina now has allowed just 156.8 passing yards per game, best in the NFL. It's Carolina's lowest net pass yards allowed through the first four games of a season in franchise history.
  • After trailing in time of possession by seven minutes in the first half, Carolina flipped the script in the second half and time of possession ended nearly even.
  • Six different receivers recorded receptions for Carolina. The same was true in the Panthers Week 3 win at Arizona.
  • The overall turnover margin went in favor of Houston as the Texans recovered three fumbles compared to Carolina's two takeaways. It marked just the 10th win in 48 games since 2011 that the Panthers have lost the turnover margin and won the game.
  • Carolina allowed 136 rushing yards while rushing for 94 yards. The Panthers have allowed at least 100 rushing yards in each of the first four games, and have been outrushed each week.
  • However, after winning the net yards battle (297-264) in Week 4, Carolina has outgained the opponent in each of the last three weeks in total net yards.
 
PLAYER STATS

Panthers

  • Christian McCaffrey recorded his third game this season with at least 175 scrimmage yards, finishing with 93 rushing yards and 10 receptions for 86 receiving yards and a rushing touchdown. It marked his second 10-reception game this season and sixth of his career. He joins Jim Brown as the only two players in NFL history to have at least 175 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in three of the first four games of a season.
  • Mario Addison recorded two sacks and four tackles, just one week after having three sacks at Arizona. He currently ranks third in the NFL with 5.5 sacks, and now has 10 multi-sack games in his career.
  • Shaq Thompson recorded a game-high 12 tackles, one sack and one pass deflection. He came just one tackle short of his single-game career high and has recorded sacks in back-to-back contests.
  • Eric Reid made a big impact with six tackles, a pass deflection and a fumble recovery, while Ross Cockrell had three tackles, one interception and two pass deflections. It marked the first INT of his Panthers tenure and sixth of his career.

Don’t understand why we’re consistently giving up 100+ yards a game.. gotta get that fixed. Besides that our defense is awesome.

Offense definitely struggled against better competition, hopefully Allen cleans up his penchant for fumbling. If the offense can come close to matching our D this team can win a SB.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
