The Carolina Panthers are showing signs of improvement this season, having already doubled their win total from last year. Despite a record of 4-11, center Brady Christensen believes the team's culture is shifting under head coach Dave Canales. He emphasizes the importance of playing for each other, which he feels distinguishes this year's team from previous iterations.

With a competitive spirit, the Panthers have managed to stay close in games against playoff contenders and recently eliminated the Arizona Cardinals. They have the opportunity to impact the NFC South standings in their upcoming games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons, who are tied for first in the division.
