Lions Week 11 Song of the Game: “messy” by serpentwithfeet
Messy wins > depressing losses. In the fallout of Week 11’s matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Carolina Panthers, almost every conversation I’ve had with fans has led with the same sentiment: “The Panthers lost that game.” Whether it be Riverboat Ron’s fault for going for two after Carolina scored a touchdown late, or Cam Newton’s indecisiveness in that critical moment, the Panthers are shouldering the load of the blame for dropping this game. And well, frankly, who has time to care about this game when a date with the NFC-North leading Chicago Bears is just two sun and...

Notes: Darius Slay sets NFL-best mark vs. Panthers
Since entering the league, no one is better at breaking up passes than Darius Slay Darius Slay wasn’t at his best against the Carolina Panthers. He gave up a few completions and probably would’ve given up a few more had Devin Funchess not dropped a handful of others. He did have one of the best plays of the day, running down rookie receiver D.J. Moore and preventing a touchdown. However, early in the game, Darius Slay notched a pass breakup—the first of what would be two against Cam Newton—and with it, he surpassed both Robert Alford and Brent Grimes for the most pass breakups by...

The Panthers defense is getting shredded by passing touchdowns, especially to tight ends
It looks like opposing teams have figured out how to score against the Carolina defense. One of the biggest statistical oddities about the 2018 Carolina Panthers is how opposing teams are scoring against them. To begin the season, four of the first six touchdowns the Panthers defense gave up were on the ground. Since then, 20 of the last 22 touchdowns the Panthers have surrendered have been through the air. Let me say that again: 20 of the last 22 touchdowns scored against Carolina’s defense have been on passing plays. Through Week 10 the Panthers defense has given up 22 passing...

Lions vs. Panthers: Random Stats
A collection of random stats about the Lions and Panthers. Why can’t Matthew Stafford dress like Cam Newton? Don’t get me wrong. There’s something to be said about shirts with hoods. I like them a lot, but look at Cam. All things considered, Cam Newton’s suit tonight is fairly subdued. #TNF #Panthers pic.twitter.com/kceaazZtKE— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) November 8, 2018 I mean look at this outfit. Like him or not, Cam Newton is the very personification of cool. This is the look we all wish we could pull off, but at the end of the day, we’re all just a little too...

Torrey Smith ruled OUT for Panthers-Lions
The Panthers wide receiver will miss his fourth straight game on Sunday. The Panthers did not practice yesterday today due to the weather but they were back at it today thanks to the weather finally cooperating. The prodigal sun returns pic.twitter.com/Sv2CnnOahX— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) November 16, 2018 Ron Rivera said yesterday that if the Panthers would have been able to practice, Cam Newton would have been a participant. Turns out he was correct because Cam participated in practice today. Practice notes: Torrey Smith ran trough some individuals and worked on the...

Christian McCaffrey’s versatility could be a huge factor in Panthers-Lions tilt
The Panthers have the tools to take advantage of a struggling Lions defense on Sunday. Will they actually do it? The Panthers lost in embarrassing fashion to the Steelers last Thursday night, but the one small sliver of hope to take away from that experience is that running back Christian McCaffrey had a pretty decent night. He rushed for 77 yards and one touchdown, and he caught five passes for 61 yards and two touchdowns. His totals for the night were 19 touches for 138 yards and three touchdowns. That’s not bad, right? It’s a shame that none of his teammates went to Pittsburgh with...

Detroit Lions vs. Carolina Panthers: On Paper
A statistical breakdown of the Lions’ Week 11 game. The last time the Detroit Lions and Carolina Panthers met, it was not pretty. Both teams entered Week 5 of the 2017 season at 3-1, and the Lions were riding high after an impressive win over the Vikings. What followed was a Cam Newton beatdown that led to a 27-10 lead late in the game. Though Detroit clawed their way back and even came close to a comeback, it was clear Carolina was the better team that day. This year, we may be in for the same—although the situation is much different. The Lions’ season is teetering on irrelevance at...
