November 25, 2025 at 3:33 AM
Wouldn't a Panthers win make the NFC South more competitive?
#NFL isn't even trying to hide shit anymore, they're desperate for divisions to stay competitive so they don't look as stupid as they are for jamming week 18 full of divisional matchups when half the teams are playing backups usually
November 25, 2025 at 3:07 AM
