Fans of the Carolina Panthers and members of the media who cover the team could probably recite the club’s dismal 2024 defensive statistics right off the top of their heads. Dave Canales’s squad allowed the most total yards (6,877) and most rushing yards (3,057) in the league. The Panthers also set a new NFL record for most points allowed (534) in a single season. There wasn’t a lot of pressure put on opposing quarterbacks.
