5 takeaways from NFL Wild Card Weekend

Panthers Have the Ingredients to Beat the Seahawks
To go on the road and beat the Seattle Seahawks, you need to have a good running game and you need to have a defense that can cause havoc. In Week 5, the Dallas Cowboys went to CenturyLink Field and beat the Seahawks. The crazy thing is that the Cowboys handed Seattle 10 points in that game on special teams and they still won the game. Granted, Seattle is a better team now than they were in Week 5, but it just goes to show that the Panthers can, in fact, beat the Seahawks.
Ever since since the start of December, Jonathan Stewart has emerged next to Cam Newton. Since Week 14, Stewart has carried the football 103 times for 524 yards and two total touchdowns. The Panthers are top ten in the league in rushing offense and their defense is starting to hit its groove. The combination of Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis is a dominant one in the middle of the field. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but the Panthers could very beat this Seattle team. Crazy, right?
