In a step back from what we’ve mostly seen out of interim head coach Steve Wilks’ team, the Carolina Panthers were outmatched and bullied by the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers this past Sunday.
The Week 15 loss materialized through an uncomfortable day in the pocket for Sam Darnold, a muted running game and defenseless defense that couldn’t find a way off the field. Pittsburgh brought their pass rush (four sacks), their running game (156) and certainly their third-down offense (75-percent success rate).
