Carolina Panthers
The Panthers began the 2007 season as playoff contenders, and won their opener against St. Louis Rams for the first time since 2003. However, the next week at home against the Houston Texans the Panthers jumped ahead 14-0 but lost 34-21. In week three, Jake Delhomme was lost for the season with an injured elbow, which resulted in Tommy John Surgery. The Panthers went on a five game losing streak, including a last-minute loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
