After years of rebuilding, the Carolina Panthers gave Charlotte something it has been craving: a season worth rallying around. From milestone moments on the field to a return to the playoffs, we’re reflecting on what the team accomplished this season.
The Panthers lost in the wild card round — their first postseason appearance since 2017 — to the Los Angeles Rams 34-32 on Jan. 10. While the season may be over, there’s a lot to celebrate, including:
- Leading the NFC South — thanks, Atlanta.
- Bryce Young set a franchise record for single-game passing yards
- Tetairoa McMillan led all rookies in receptions, yards, touchdowns, and first downs
- Rookie Xavier Legette logged the longest receiving plays of the season.
Want more good news? The team extended contracts for defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Taylor Moton, and Jaycee Horn + is expected to pick up Bryce Young’s option for 2027.
One thing is clear: This season didn’t just produce wins — it restored pride in the home team.
