For once the Panthers got off to a good start in Green Bay, jumping out to a rare early lead. Revenge and first place are on their minds against the rival Bucs, but is the Carolina defense wearing down? Julius Peppers and Co. have given up 76 points and 830 total yards over the past two games. COOL STAT: Since rushing for a season-low 40 yards in Week 6 at Tampa Bay, the Panthers have averaged 157.7 rushing yards per game in their last six games. THIS WEEK: vs. Bucs (9-3)
Both teams 9-3 and both rising in the power rankings. This should be a great game to watch.
