The Carolina Panthers are back in the playoffs. It's been a long time coming for head coach Dave Canales' squad, but they have a massive task ahead of them at Bank of America Stadium.
Even though the Panthers have already beaten the Los Angeles Rams once this season, most experts expect a different outcome in the knockout rounds. Carolina is a heavy underdog, and Sean McVay's team isn't expected to fall at the first hurdle. Everything has to go right to stay competitive, but Canales' men have proven capable of hanging with anyone if everyone meets expectations.
