The Panthers bested Green Bay. The Cowboys, too. Yet, the day they became for real in league observers' eyes was the afternoon they took down Pete Carroll's two-time defending NFC Champion Seahawks in their own backyard. Nevermind that it was a gritty affair, and more than worthy of being Our Second Top Game of 2015. It might have been a passing of the torch, as all opponents -- including these Seahawks -- massively failed at Carolina this season (SEE: Palmer, NFC Championship). All told, teams went 0-10 in Charlotte, with the Panthers winning by an average score of 34.4 to 17.5. Read that stat line again.
