Meanwhile, things are not too much different in the NFC North for the Detroit Lions. Despite being on 3-1 they are only good enough for a share of the top spot in the division with the Green Bay Packers. The Minnesota Vikings are biting at their heels on 2-2, and the Chicago Bears are struggling in the basement on 1-3. Overall that means the Lions have little to no room to breathe at the top of the division, which applies added pressure to this huge game today.
Quarterbacks Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford have almost an identical number of yards under their belt through the opening four weeks of the season, with Newton throwing for 882 yards, and Stafford throwing for 887 yards.
The two teams are also evenly matched in the air, with the Panthers averaging 202.2 yards on pass so far this season, where as the Lions are marginally ahead by less than a yard more, with 202.8 yards on average per game on the pass.
Earlier this week on NFL Thursday Night Football, the New England Patriots won a tight game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to get themselves back to a winning record.
Things were close, however, and the Buccaneers were pushing in the fourth, but ultimately came up short to ensure the Patriots would claim a confidence boosting road win and move to 3-2.
The game came down to the final play, but once the dust settles the Patriots will be satisfied as a win is a win, and the game also saw quarterback Tom Brady tie Peyton Manning and Brett Favre for the most season wins by a quarterback with 186 victories.
Brady had a tough night, but still came up with some good stats. Despite throwing an interception, and losing a fumble, as well as getting hit all night, he managed to complete 30 of 40 passes for 303 yards and a touchdown.
As for the Buccaneers they will be disappointed having fallen just short of completing their comeback. Had quarterback Jameis Winston's final pass to OJ Howard been on target they would have stolen the win from the Patriots. Winston finished the game with 334 yards, completing 26 throws from 46 attempts.
The Buccaneers will also be looking at kicker Nick Folk, who missed three field goals, as a reason they came up short.
