Momentum and Confidence

The Panthers are riding a two-game win streak that has bolstered team morale.

Clowney’s Focus on Mahomes

Defensive leader Jadeveon Clowney pinpointed the key to slowing Kansas City: Mahomes. “He drives that offense, he drives the team,” Clowney said. “You’ve got to get him off schedule.” With DJ Wonnum back, Clowney emphasized disciplined rushing lanes as the defense’s strategy to contain the Chiefs’ MVP quarterback.

Offensive Challenges

Facing one of the league’s top run defenses, Canales stressed balance. “We have to be balanced and continue to approach it that way,” he said, highlighting the need to exploit gaps while staying true to their system.
