The Carolina Panthers ended the 2024 season on a much better note than they started it. After starting 1-7 through the first half of the season, they were able to win four of their final nine games to finish 5-12, including a big win in Week 18 over their NFC South rivals, the Atlanta Falcons, to end their playoff dreams.
The Carolina Panthers finished 5-12 last year, so anything better than that will be a step in the right direction for 2025. They won two games the year before, so they're on an upward swing that will hopefully continue into this next season.
