20. Carolina Panthers (Last week: 22)
Cam Newton who? With Derek Anderson making the start, Carolina survived a late push to top NFC South rival Tampa Bay. Kelvin Benjamin looked sharp in his NFL debut, and the defense still looks stout.
What to know: Making his case to be the best middle linebacker in the league, Luke Kuechly forced a fumble, defended a pass that led to a pick and recorded a third-down sack. Impressive day.
