Arizona Cardinals @ Carolina Panthers
Week 5, 2005: Panthers 24, Cardinals 20
In what has become a common outcome in the recent history of this series, the Panthers found themselves down late in the game only to come back and win. Steve Smith was once again the catalyst with the go-ahead fourth-quarter touchdown.
Week 6, 2007: Panthers 25, Cardinals 10
Vinny Testaverde came in off the street to play hero for Carolina. The 43-year old, signed just a few days before the game with the Panthers suffering from several injuries, passed for 206 yards and a touchdown to lead a fourth-quarter rally.
Week 8, 2008: Panthers 27, Cardinals 23
Carolina overcame a 14-point second-half deficit behind two acrobatic touchdowns from Steve Smith and then salted away the final six minutes off the clock with a steady diet of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart.
This is another rematch special and it clould be quite a battle. Weather factor??? Early reports say the the Cards may get a break by playing on Sat. With temps in the 50 as the messy part of the latest cold front sounds like it will be around Pittsburgh on Sunday. These two played a great game earlier this season with the Panthers pulling one off late in the game. The Cards, like the Chargers, also are fighting that teams traveling east trend this weekend. Both teams are pretty healthy except for the Cards WR Boldin who pulled a hammy last week. Keep an eye on this thread as we will be keeping an eye on Boldin.
