After giving up five touchdowns and a field goal in week 18, the Carolina Panthers' 2024-25 defense is officially the worst unit in this history of the National Football League with 534 (and counting) points allowed.

For the seventh consecutive season, the Atlanta Falcons have missed the playoffs. The Falcons had a chance to compete for a division title entering

The Panthers will have several major decisions to make entering the 2025 offseason. They’ll have some notable names hit free agency, including LB Shaq Thompson.

Panthers QB Bryce Young denied the Falcons the division title, then shared his reaction to out-performing Michael Penix Jr.

Sanders, who missed the last six games with an ankle sprain, returned as one of the Panthers’ top weapons on Sunday. He rushed for 66 yards and the walk-off touchdown and reeled in three grabs for 50 yards—33 of which came on a long score.

Tennessee Titans. The Panthers are facing the last-place team in the AFC South in 2025, and that will be the Titans, who enter Week 18 with a 3-13 record. (Yes, a Titans win and a Jaguars loss could knot them at 4-13 each, but the Jags have the edge with their divisional record and would thus earn the tiebreaker.)
