Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

Andre Ellington

15. Carolina Panthers (LW: 14)

The Panthers remain on top of the horrid NFC South, which is something to put some stock in, right? Cam Newton followed up his best performance of the year with a very mediocre one, and this schizoid defense did not fare well against Rodgers and Co.

What to know: Carolina surrendered three first-quarter touchdowns to the Packers Sunday. They allowed two touchdowns in the first quarter entering the contest (ESPN Stats & Info).
