Panthers in the power rankings before Week 15 at Buffalo

ANALYSIS: “Over his first stint with the Carolina Panthers, quarterback Cam Newton enjoyed a great deal of success. He was named MVP of the NFL and led the team to a berth in Super Bowl 50.

However, that was some time ago. Now, Newton is an aging and limited signal-caller who is winless as a starter in his second stint with the team. However, despite being benched for parts of Sunday’s loss to the Falcons, Newton remains Panthers head coach Matt Rhule’s starter.”
