Carolina Panthers News & Updates: Week 2 | Eastern North Carolina Now

   

A Valiant Effort From Luke Kuechly and the Defense, but a Loss Is a Loss | Max Henson/Panthers.com

    Quarterback Cam Newton said he had a hard time looking his defensive teammates in the eye after Thursday night's 20-14 loss to the Buccaneers.

Carolina Panthers: Why It's Not Time to Panic Just Yet | Joshua Altorfer/Cat Crave

    The Panthers first loss of the season to the Los Angeles Rams was understandable. The Rams are a well-coached, complete team that went all the way to the Super Bowl last year. The loss Thursday night to the Buccaneers is a lot tougher to swallow.
