Panthers need road success to push into postseason
By Bud L. Ellis
With four of their final six games away from home, the Carolina Panthers hope to play well on the road and surge back into the playoffs in 2010.
The National Football League has announced game times and dates for the upcoming season. Carolina opens the season Sept. 12 at the New York Giants. The home opener is slated for the next week against Tampa Bay, and the Panthers remain at home Sept. 26 to face Cincinnati.
Carolina travels Oct. 3 to Super Bowl champion New Orleans. Then it’s back home to face Chicago before the Panthers take their bye on Oct. 17. After the bye, Carolina plays host to San Francisco on Oct. 24, followed by a trip to St. Louis and a home game Nov. 7 against Super Bowl champion New Orleans.
After visiting Tampa Bay, the Panthers return home to face Baltimore. Four of the final six games are away from home, starting with a trip to Cleveland Nov. 28. December begins with the longest road trip of the season, to Seattle, and a home game against NFC South rival Atlanta.
After playing Arizona in the home finale Dec. 19, Carolina plays at Pittsburgh on Thursday Night Football on Dec. 23. The regular season ends in Atlanta on Jan. 2.
