Prior to kickoff here in Week 8, the Carolina Panthers hadn’t won a game since Sept. 23. And that was against the Houston Texans.
It’s been 37 days. 37 long, disappointing, embarrassing, injury-ridden days since a victory. So when that wait finally came to end, the Panthers were not to be blamed nor denied of their rightful postgame celebrations.
Here’s how Carolina took to social media on Sunday evening following their 19-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Let’s start with the team account, one of professional sports’ most beloved outlets of social media goodness.

Well played.
That was almost as well played, in fact, as cornerback Stephon Gilmore’s game-clinching interception. Gilmore’s takeaway got a few of his teammates pretty hyped, too.
Gilly Lock🔒

Offensive coordinator Joe Brady only tweets when Carolina wins. The triumph marked his return.
1-0.

Also, someone is going to have to see if they can get linebacker Haason Reddick, who is now up to 7.5 sacks on the year, this poster. Does anyone know this woman?

Lastly, we’ll close things out with Reddick’s sack bro in defensive end Brian Burns. Burns, who also got in on the action, is getting ready for the next one.
