The NFL regular season kicks off in the City of Brotherly Love on September 4 when the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys. Jacob Robinson and Dianna Russini of The Athletic looked at the teams that were on the rise as well as on the decline after Week 2 of the preseason. The Carolina Panthers made the latter list as their summer time record dropped to 0-2 after an ugly 20-3 loss at Houston. Dave Canales’s club has been outscored a combined 50-13 in their lopsided setbacks to the Browns and Texans. It was ugly from the get-go for the Panthers last Saturday afternoon.
