The Tampa Bay Buccaneers comeback win on Monday Night Football was bad news for the Carolina Panthers NFC South title hopes. The Panthers now find themselves two games back of Tampa with five games remaining and the team's set to matchup during Week 17 in Tampa. Julian Council looks at the Panthers moving forward into the final stretch. Is winning out Carolina's only chance at a playoff berth?

With the bad news of the Bucs win comes the good news of the Panthers taking another needed step closer to the top of the NFL Draft. As it stands, the Panthers would select sixth overall. Julian looks at the teams that sit between the Panthers and likely No. 1 pick Houston and who behind Carolina could be a candidate to trade up for a QB.

Plus, Baker Mayfield has found a new home, while another former Panthers QB is back in his.

The Carolina Panthers released QB Baker Mayfield on Monday. Mayfield asked to be released after being told that Sam Darnold would once again start this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks with PJ Walker as his backup. Julian Council goes through Mayfield's brief tenure in Carolina and tries to pinpoint why things didn't work out for Baker in Charlotte.

With Mayfield gone, it's now the Sam Darnold show. Can Darnold solve the franchise's biggest issues by performing at a high level in the final five games?

Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks has added to his coaching staff + an emphasis on developing a playoff mentality as the season winds down.

The Carolina Panthers will await the result of Week 13 of the NFL season to see where they stand heading into their next matchup at Seattle. In the meantime, the Panthers will use the bye week to get healthy and cultivate a plan to capitalize on one of the NFL's easiest remaining schedules. Julian Council provides his three keys to success in the final five games of the season.

At the moment, the Carolina Panthers hold the 5th spot in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Julian sets the record straight on what team's the Panthers should be concerned about trading up ahead of them and projects what Detroit and Seattle could do with their picks in the event that the Top 5 remain the same.

On Tuesday, ESPN released its NFL Top 25 Under 25: Ranking best players 24 years old or younger. Brian Burns and Derrick Brown were both featured but according to Julian their selection and the omission of other Carolina Panthers provide further evidence as to why Panthers GM Scott Fitterer kept them around.

The Carolina Panthers head into the bye week 1.5 games back of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South standings. Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks pointed out on Monday that the team will need to continue to get strong performances from its offensive line and secondary if the Panthers are going to build on momentum out of the bye. Wilks also noted that deciding on Sam Darnold to start after the bye at Seattle wasn't a quick decision, rather it was a quick announcement.

The Panthers have the 3rd-worst remaining strength of schedule only playing one team (Seattle) above .500 to close out the season. The Panthers also played a handful of teams that would finish with a losing record in 2014 when the team went from 3-8-1 to 7-8-1 and was division champions. Can Carolina capitalize on a weak schedule down the stretch?

The Panthers currently sit 6th in the pecking order of the 2023 NFL Draft with six weeks remaining. Should Panthers fans be concerned about the Panthers playing their way out of contention for a top QB or is there still an opening for Carolina to trade up?

The Carolina Panthers continued their winning ways at home dismantling the Denver Broncos, 23-10, to make it three consecutive wins at Bank of America Stadium under interim head coach Steve Wilks.

Sam Darnold made his first start for the Panthers since Week 18 last season. Darnold wasn't flashy, completing 11 of 19 passes for 164 yards, and a touchdown, including one on the ground, but was efficient enough to lead the offense behind a 185-yard rushing performance. Following the game, Wilks named Darnold the starter in two weeks at Seattle. Could we finally be seeing the Darnold that the Panthers traded for?

The Panthers defense was excellent once again holding Russell Wilson and the Broncos offense to 246 yards. Brian Burns turned in two more sacks, including a forced fumble to make it four straight weeks with a sack. Have the Panthers finally found their identity late in the 2022 season?

With the win, Wilks remains unbeaten at home and improved to 3-4 since taking over for Matt Rhule in Week 6. Is it too early to have the conversation about Wilks being given the full-time job? What more can Wilks show that he's the right man for the job in Carolina?

The Buccaneers, Falcons, and Saints all lost on Sunday keeping alive the Panthers hopes of an NFC South division title. Could the game in Seattle in two weeks be for the division lead?

The 3-8 Carolina Panthers return home to host the 3-7 Denver Broncos in a matchup of two of the NFL's worst offenses. While the Panthers and Broncos both struggle offensively, each team's respective defensive units are among the league's best in several categories. Are we in store for a low-scoring affair at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday?

Sam Darnold will get the start for the Panthers at QB. It'll be Darnold's first appearance since Week 18 at Tampa Bay. Can Darnold stabilize the QB position for the rest of the season?

Julian Council and Locked On Broncos host Sayre Bedinger break down the top storylines, and key matchups, and provide their predictions for Sunday's matchup.
