The average QBR the Panthers D has face is a 49.8 rating
Week 10 Vs Tom Brady
Brady who's last outing versus the Steelers posted an incredible QBR of 97.7 and got back to the typical offensive powerhouse expectations with season highs in several categories;
33 first downs
197 rushing yards
432 passing yards
and a 58 percent conversion rate (7 for 12) on third downs.
Their 610 total yards of offense were the third most in franchise history, and for the first time in team history, there were three receivers with more than 100 yards: Rob Gronkowski (nine receptions, 143 yards, touchdown), Aaron Dobson (five receptions, 130 yards, 2 touchdowns), and Danny Amendola (four receptions, 122 yards, touchdown).
Although Brady's current season QB ranking places him 15th overall, look for this number to continue to rise dramatically every week as the Patriots become healthier on offense and begin to finally pile up the numbers.
There is no argument that Tom Brady is a future Hall-of-Famer, and a caliber of QB the Panthers have not faced yet this season.
Regardless of who their opponent is, I think this is an absolutely TERRIBLE spot for the Panthers after a huge upset win last week in San Fran. Now add in all of the above factors and The Patriots to this mix off a bye week....
Pats ML HUGE
