The Panthers should have had seven sacks against the Bucs, but it wasn’t because they were so blitz-happy. It was the defensive line’s continued ability to get home that had Jameis Winston running for his life.
The Panthers pass rush has seen very up-and-down this season, largely due to inconsistent pressure off the edge. Sunday saw a marked upturn with Peppers, Horton, Addison and Cox giving chase to Case.
The Vikings enter Sunday’s game as favourites, but the Panthers have a real chance of coming up with the upset if only they can avoid some mental mistakes.
