Carolina Panthers (7-8-1)

Carolina couldn’t properly respond to their 12-4 effort from last season, but they are still the first team in NFC South history to repeat as division champs.

They had a 10-game stretch during the season where they went 1-8-1 and appeared to be out of the playoff race completely.

Thankfully for them though, their division was probably the worst in the entire NFL this year, and their four-game winning streak to finish the season 7-8-1 was just good enough to let them host a playoff game.

The Panthers have been hot as of late, but they will have their hands full when Arizona comes to town next Saturday.

Grade: C
