Panthers Visit Patriots After 30-0 Shutout

The Carolina Panthers will face the New England Patriots in Foxborough in Week 4, looking to build on last Sunday’s 30-0 shutout of the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Drake Maye rebounded from earlier turnovers to complete 14 of 17 passes for 203 yards, two passing touchdowns and a rushing score with a 155.6 passer rating, giving Carolina momentum. Second-year cornerback Chau Smith-Wade returned a pick-six in the win and has emerged as a reliable slot defender, while running back Chuba Hubbard (managing calf soreness) is expected to play and aims for his first 100-yard rushing game of the season. New England’s Marcus Jones has been a special-teams weapon — including an 87-yard punt return and a franchise-record 167 punt return yards — meaning field position will be pivotal. The Panthers can move back to .500 with a win but face a difficult stretch that includes four AFC East opponents in five weeks and carry a 6-19 interconference record since 2020. Fans can watch behind-the-scenes coverage on the team’s weekly “Primetime Panthers” show on PanthersPlus.TV, Scripps Sports and YouTube.
