The Carolina Panthers head to Motown to face the red-hot Detroit Lions on Sunday. The team two teams last faced in the preseason but the last regular season meeting involved an offensive explosion by the Steve Wilks-led Panthers. Could this week spell yet another offensive breakout for Carolina? Julian Council provides his three keys to victory.

Panthers starting RG Austin Corbett was removed from the PUP list on Wednesday, starting the 21-day clock on his return to the active roster. Corbett was heavily involved at practice on Wednesday and Thursday leading up to the Lions game. When will Corbett make his season debut?

Could a win in Detroit on Sunday salvage whatever hope remains for the Panthers in 2024? Julian explains why a win might just do that with a manageable schedule following the bye.
