Who remembers this clutch @Panthers comeback? CARvsPHI – Sunday 1:00pm ET on CBS/Paramount+ Stream on @NFLPlus https:// Via @NFL on X

What happened: Carolina erased a 17-point deficit late in the fourth quarter to beat Philadelphia. The return meeting is Sunday, with streaming on NFLPlus.

Why it matters: The rematch arrives with Carolina reshaping its secondary after placing both starting cornerbacks on injured reserve. That absence puts replacement coverage under early pressure in the reunion with Philadelphia.

By the numbers: Carolina trailed by 17 points late in the fourth quarter before completing the comeback.

What to watch: Sunday's reunion shows whether the late collapse was an outlier for Philadelphia.
