As commented by other people: The panthers are between a rock and a hard place.
They can’t win, because… well, it’s looking like they can’t.
They can certainly lose a bunch of games, but that just helps the Bears out, since the Panther’s first round pick is already going to the Bears.
So in a way, the Panthers have nothing to play for and nothing to look forward to even if they lose and tank
I just want to mercy rule this, because no way the Jets offense can score 23 points in 8 minutes, so end this and let everyone go home early
