Sports · Heat 1.2 / 10 · 4 shows · 1h 18m airtime
The Carolina Panthers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 25-14 on October 18, 2026, handing Philadelphia a fourth consecutive loss. Carolina blitzed on about 44% of Eagles dropbacks and sent six or seven rushers on seven of them. Bryce Young became the first quarterback since Peyton Manning and Drew Brees to throw for at least 280 yards and a touchdown in each of his team's first five games. The discussion weighs that streak against Carolina's penalty and efficiency problems, and whether the MVP case holds up.
