I'm a stat nerd and wanted to share some interesting things i've come across with you all, feel free to add to it as you wish. I might make this a weekly thing

* For the third week in a row, the Carolina Panthers attracted more than 500,000 viewers in the Charlotte area's TV audience with Sunday’s win over Tampa Bay. In other words, the Panthers, based on Nielsen Media Research estimates of 2.8 million viewers in the region, have hovered near 20 percent of all possible viewers of late. By way of comparison, Carolina’s TV viewership earlier this season hovered between 300,000 and 400,000 viewers, in the Charlotte area, but jumped with the winning streak.

*The Panthers have scored 8-of-12 times on their opening drive of the second half this season, including six touchdowns. Also if you don't count kneel-downs in the final seconds as possessions, they've scored on 9-of-12 drives to close out the first half, including seven touchdowns.

* Opposing offenses haven't scored a single point in the second half in four of the Panthers' last five games.(New England)

*21 points is Tampa Bay's largest margin of defeat all year

*For the first time all year the Panthers did not allow a quarterback sack or hit

*Mike Glennon's NFL record 8 games to start a career with a touchdown came to an end Sunday

* The Panthers are now 8 of 9 when going for it on fourth-and-1 since his team's Week 2 loss to Buffalo,

*Cam Newton has thrown and run for a touchdown in 20 of a possible 44 games

* The Panthers lead the NFL in scoring defense, yielding 13.1 points per game, and rank second in total defense with 289.8 yards allowed

*This season the Panthers have allowed a touchdown on only 32.1 percent of opponent’s red zone drives (27.8 percent during the streak). Not only is that best in the NFL this season, it’s the best percentage since the league expanded to 32 teams in 2002. (2nd 2005 bears 32.5%)

*The Panthers 8 game win streak is the longest in the franchise's history

Cam Newton needs 76 yards and 2 TD to pass Peyton Manning for yardage & TD in first 3 seasons.

That would put him #1 in yardage & #2 in TD all time through 3 seasons.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
