It wasn't pretty this past Saturday in Charlotte. The weather was raw cold and rainy at Bank of America Stadium. Last season Carolina had a 1st round bye and lost to the 49ers in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. Carolina started the season 3-8-1 and won 4 straight games to capture the NFC South at 7-8-1. Under .500 they would go on to host a playoff game vs. Arizona. The Cardinals finished 11-5 and were down to their 3rd string quarterback in Ryan Lindley. Lindley was no match for the Carolina defense. Especially with the multiple interceptions he threw including a dagger in the red zone. The running game along with physical toughness helped the defense clinch a 27-16 win. After Sunday playoff action Carolina will travel to Seattle for next Saturday Night match up. The 2 time NFC South champions will take on the defending Super Bowl champions. It should be a very very physical contest.
