US EditionCardinals Hoping to Start Season with 2-0 Record, but Panthers Have Proved to Be Tough Opponent
The Panthers aim to rebound from a 26-10 loss and recent defensive struggles, facing a Cardinals team fresh off a 20-13 win with key players returning.
- On Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals host the Carolina Panthers at State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Ariz., with kickoff at 4:05 p.m. and the BetMGM line favoring the Cardinals by 6 1/2; the Panthers seek revenge after a 36-30 overtime loss on Dec. 22, 2024.
- Over the series since 2015, the Carolina Panthers have won seven of the past eight meetings, but last week they lost 26-10 while the Arizona Cardinals beat the Saints 20-13.
- Ickey Ekwonu's likely return provides all five regular starters for Carolina, but Turk Wharton will miss 2-4 weeks and run defense remains a concern after allowing 143 yards to Travis Etienne in seven straight games.
- With immediate stakes high, Bryce Young, Panthers quarterback, needs a bounce-back after three turnovers and completing 18 of 34 passes for 154 yards, while the turnover differential favors Arizona amid their strong home form.
- Rookies and skill players to watch include Tetairoa McMillan, Panthers rookie wide receiver returning to Arizona, and RB Chuba Hubbard, who rushed for more than 1,100 yards in 2024 and will be a focal point Sunday.

Cardinals Host Panthers in Week 2 Looking For A Little Revenge
Happy Thursday! Almost to the end of the week. I’ll get to the Cardinals below, but first, I just wanted to offer a huge thanks to Alex D’Agostino, who stepped up and wrote today’s main story as I dealt with a tough situation at home yesterday (everything is fine). I really appreciate him stepping in to pinch hit for me as I got things sorted on the home front — being part of this PHNX community is truly something special. — Patrick Brown, PHNX …
