Carolina Panthers: If the Panthers didn't have to play NFC South offenses six times a year, they would be my darkhorse pick to finish the season No. 1 overall in points allowed. 49ers quarterback Brian Hoyer didn't know where the pressure was coming from on Sunday because it was coming from everywhere. The Panthers have an incredible depth of defensive line talent that can win one-on-one matchups, and they often did it all at once in San Francisco. Coach Ron Rivera loves lining up five to six players on the line of scrimmage, all condensed in the middle, with the offense having no idea who will come forward.
