Breaking: Panthers on Pace for NFL Infamy: Carolina Closing in on Record for Most Points Allowed in a Season
After Sunday’s 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Panthers have now allowed a franchise-record 496 points on the campaign—surpassing the 470 points given up in 2019. But that’s not all!
Carolina is now 38 points away from setting a new NFL record for the most points allowed in a season. With one game to go, they sit 37 points behind (or ahead) of the 1981 Baltimore Colts—who relinquished 533 points.
