The NFL released scheduled for all 32 teams last night and the Carolina Panthers landed three prime time games, two at home and one on the road. That playoff appearance in 2013 was rewarded Panther fans!
The Panthers first prime time game is a Sunday Night match-up home week 3 against the Steelers, who the Panthers also play week 4 of the preseason. That should require some serious planning by the coaching staff for both games.
In week 9 the Panthers play the Saints at BoA Stadium in a Thursday Night contest sure to have divisional implications.
Finally the third prime time game is a week later on Monday Night the Linc against the Eagles.The Panthers beat these Eagles in their last Monday night contest in Philly just a few seasons ago. It should be a good one.
Probably the most unfavorable item is a week 12 bye.
