The Panthers are in first place in the NFC South
The Panthers have found themselves back in first place in the NFC South
The Carolina Panthers are currently leading the NFC South, despite having a 3-5 record. This surprising position comes about due to tiebreakers, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost on Sunday and the Atlanta Falcons lost earlier in the week. Despite these setbacks, the Panthers remain at the top of the division. As of now, the division standings feature a tight race between Carolina, New Orleans, and the Saints.
The Panthers' 1-1 record within the NFC South is enough to keep them in first place for now, with the possibility of a thrilling match-up against New Orleans next Sunday in the NFC playoffs.
