On Wednesday, Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule revisited the sluggish season-opening loss to the Cleveland Browns. And, uh, he had an interesting take on his offense’s performance.
The Panthers were held in check for over three quarters of play—carrying all of seven points (to five punts and an interception) into the start of the fourth. While they would wake up, tallying a furious 17 points in the game’s final 13 minutes, their chances at a win were marred by the ineptitude that came before it.
