Coming into this game, the fans were hoping to see a comeback after that horrible game last week where the defense didn't even record a sack. The attendance dropped partially due to the loss, but also because the Panthers were playing the Broncos, who had the worst record in the league at 2-6. The game was a slow defensive battle from the start. Very unappealing to the viewing audience, with lots of three and outs and botched running plays. In fact, slightly less than half of the stadium had emptied by the fourth quarter. The Panthers were not playing any better than they had against Washington the previous week. Sure the defense was better, but offensively nothing was getting done. To make matters worse, the foundation of the defense, NaVarro Bowman was carted off the field due to a torn Pectoral Muscle and will miss the remainder of the season and LaRon Landry left with a Hip Pointer. He is probable for next week against Tampa Bay. A late drive from the Panthers offense which led to a field goal, saving them from an embarrassing overtime performance against the NFL's worst team at their own house. Right now with the team so down in form, the playoffs went from a "for sure" thing to a "questionable". On the bright side, Skip Bayless thought Tebow played great.

MVP: LaRon Landry 13 tackles
