Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule met with the media on Monday following the team's season-opening loss at home to the Cleveland Browns. Rhule provided detail on the offense's slow start, the team's decision-making at the end of the go-ahead field goal drive, the lack of touches for Christian McCaffrey, and much more. Will the Panthers new pass-first offensive philosophy lead to better results in 2022?

Rhule also noted that he did not get any clarity from the NFL on the controversial spike at the end of the game that should've resulted in an intentional grounding penalty. How much is officiating to blame for the Panthers loss?

Plus, more insight on the Panthers issues against the run as they prepare to face a New York Giants team coming off a 238-yard rushing performance at Tennessee.
