The Panthers couldn't throw the ball against the Seahawks on Sunday, and this star Panthers rookie indicates where a big part of the problem came from.

Let's take a closer look at where things went most wrong for them and three other teams in Sunday's worst performances.

The Seahawks and Panthers have both over-performed in comparison to preseason expectations, and that's especially true when it comes to their records against the spread. Seattle is 10-5 ATS this year while Carolina is 9-6. The Seahawks have seen nine of their 15 games go Over the total, while the Panthers are 7-8 to the Over this year.

Seattle allowed just 139 total yards and forced two turnovers in a dominant defensive display. The Seahawks' 13th win of the season ties a franchise record -- their two previous seasons with as many victories resulted in a Super Bowl appearance. Just like previous weeks, Seattle didn't hold back in trolling its opponent after a win.

Sam Darnold found AJ Barner for a 17-yard touchdown and now the Seahawks lead the Panthers 17-3 with 5:32 left in the third quarter. Back to back turnovers from DeMarcus Lawrence and Julian Love have fueled Seattle's sudden burst of momentum.

The Seattle Seahawks, on the other hand, have a 12-3 record, and their point differential of +164 leads the NFL. Seattle has topped 30 points in five of its last eight games and three of the last four road games.

The Carolina Panthers blew a golden opportunity. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers losing, the Panthers turned in maybe the worst offensive game they've had in some

The Carolina Panthers ' Week 17 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks certainly looks tough on paper. Seattle enters at a strong 12-3 record and as the No. 1 seed in the NFC. But the Panthers have beaten the class of the conference twice before here in 2025, and they can certainly do it again.
