Steelers vs Panthers Highlights
What were the Panthers’ wins in 2019, ’20, and ‘21? 5, 5, and 5. This unwelcome consistency is not what the fans or owners want. This club has gone 22-43 since David Tepper purchased the franchise in 2018, and the owner doesn’t like that. Despite the fact that Matt Rhule, a former star in college coaching, had a 10-23 record in his first two NFL seasons, Tepper decided to keep him as head coach through 2022. Rhule must make significant progress in 2022 if he wants to reach year 4.
The Steelers have been in unchartered waters this year as they attempt to replace Ben Roethlisberger. The team had to make numerous adjustments after his departure. In the first round, they picked Kenny Pickett, who will likely challenge for the starting position soon. They have a reliable source of firepower in defensive MVP, TJ Watt. But do they have what it takes to slow down the Panthers long enough for the offense to mount a threat?
There have only been seven competitive meetings between these two teams, and the Panthers have had a tough time of it, winning only the first meeting in 1996 and losing the six games since. In their most recent matchup in 2018, Pittsburgh won by a score of 52-21.
Big Ben threw 5 touchdowns that day, but without him around, how should you expect Steelers vs Panthers to go if you bet on NFL games? Even without their talisman, the Steelers should have enough talent, especially on defense, to win this game.
