When it rains, it pours. And when the Carolina Panthers lose, it's usually by less than a touchdown.The frustrating season will continue for the Panthers, as they play their second straight road game Sunday against rookie sensation Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins.
Griffin faces last year's Rookie of the Year in Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. Both Griffin and Newton have similar skill sets in that they have strong arms and can move when trouble arises, but one has been more frustrated lately than the other.Newton was reamed by the media for his postgame comments and mannerisms following a tough loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Even though he had no touchdown passes and was intercepted twice, Newton completed 20-of-39 attempts.
However, the subpar effort wasn't enough and the Panthers suffered their fifth straight loss to fall to 1-6 on the season. Save a 36-7 thrashing by the New York Giants in Week 3, Carolina has lost by no more than six points.
"I am running out of ways to describe this (season). It was disappointing, obviously. Our guys played well enough to give themselves a chance to win," Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said.The Panthers are winless in their last four road games dating back to last season.
Both teams enter this matchup desperate for a win, so it boils down to the one who makes the most mistakes. Why else would the Panthers be 1-6 on the season? The Redskins are still a tough squad to slow down, including at home.
