Panthers fall to No. 25 in Week 16 power rankings

For the second straight year, the Panthers are finishing their season with an embarrassing losing streak. In 2018, they were able to break it only at the last minute with a meaningless win over the Saints, who weren’t playing their stars with a top seed already secured.

This year, a moral victory like that seems unlikely given how bad things have gotten over the last six games. According to Touchdown Wire’s latest power rankings, Carolina is at No. 25 going into Week 16.

“The Panthers now are 2-5 at home this season. That’s embarrassing because the Panthers have good fans, and Bank of America Stadium has given the team a home-field advantage in the past. But the Panthers have lost six games in a row, and their future has more questions than answers.”

One of those questions is what the Panthers got when they picked Will Grier in the third round. We will finally get to see him in action this week as he’s expected to start on the road against the Colts.

Aside from seeing what Grier is all about, there’s very little to hold Carolina fans’ interest over the last two games.
