2024 Carolina Panthers season

30th season in franchise history From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 season was the Carolina Panthers' 30th in the National Football League (NFL), their first under head coach Dave Canales and new general manager Dan Morgan. The Panthers started 1–7 for the second year in a row, but improved on their NFL-worst 2–15 record from last year following a Week 10 International victory against the New York Giants in overtime. However, they suffered their seventh consecutive losing season after a Week 13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which was also in overtime. The Panthers were then eliminated from both NFC South title contention and playoff contention after a loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. The Panthers finished 3rd in the NFC South due to winning a strength of victory tiebreaker over their rival New Orleans Saints. This season began with the team's fourth head coach in six seasons.

The Panthers were able to pull off a nail biting win over Atlanta to knock the Falcons out of the playoffs. Despite the win (which allowed Carolina to finish 5–12), the 38 points the Falcons scored meant the Panthers had officially surpassed the 1981 Colts for the most points surrendered in NFL history. Regardless, QB Bryce Young had gotten his first road win as an NFL starter.
