The Carolina Panthers went 15-1 in the regular season and beat up both the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals on their way to Super Bowl 50. With plenty of moments to choose from, it was difficult to pick just 10 plays that were the best of the 2015-2016 season

In this article we will review the top ten plays the Panthers executed during the 2015-2016 season. This will include the playoffs, with that said the list will take into account the game situation, instead of looking at the play in a bubble. Furthermore I tried to limit the number of times individuals appeared on the list. Cam Newton had some amazing plays and deserves a top ten all to himself. The same can be said for a number of players like Luke Kuechly, Kawann Short, Greg Olsen etc. Because of this I tried to have a diversified top ten. So let’s get started!

Honorable Mentions:

Kony Ealy In The Super Bowl:

Kony Ealy’s performance in the Super Bowl went overlooked. He totaled 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble and 1 very athletic interception. There isn’t a single part of that performance, that doesn’t deserve recognition, but there also wasn’t a part that justify a top ten spot in the play category.

Kurt Coleman Pick-6’s Romo:

Kurt Coleman led the NFC in interceptions and none were better than his pick six of Tony Romo to start the Thanksgiving Day game. This happened on the third play of the game and set the tone for the rest of the game. Coleman would finish the regular season with seven picks, but this was easily his best one.

Ted Ginn Uses His Hands:

Ted Ginn is known for his drops. In this particular moment though it was his hands that really stood out. On the second drive of the first game against the Atlanta Falcons Ted Ginn reached out made a great catch against great coverage and then took it 74 yards for a touchdown. This may be the best “hands” play Ted Ginn has ever had.

Philly Brown Beats The Cardinals By Himself:

Philly Brown broke the NFC Championship game wide open with a monstrous 86 yard touchdown. Brown ran a good clean route and broke away from the last defender to put the Panthers up 17-0 to start the rout.

Devin Funchess Touchdown Against Tampa Bay:

Rookies generally don’t have top ten worthy plays. Kelvin Benjamin disagreed with that most of last year and Devin Funchess tried his best this year. Against the Buccaneers Funchess dragged a defender 5 yards and dove across the line as another player hit him. Now he did a similar thing against Green Bay but this particular play displayed strength few players have and for that, he deserves a mention.

Number 10: Mike Tolbert Against The Eagles

Mike Tolbert does not go down easily. This is evident in the play above. He takes blow after blow and still find the end zone. What is also evident is how slick Tolbert moves for a big man. His subtle juke forces the Eagle defenders to take bad angles on him and allows him to reach over the goal line. We find this play on the top ten list for the simple reason that no-one should be able to do what Tolbert did during this play.
