Panthers at Bills



Carolina arrives at Highmark Stadium at 1-0 while Buffalo opens its season at 0-0, giving the Panthers the only in-season record on the field heading into kickoff.
Buffalo's recent stretch of L-W-W-L-W shows a team that has bounced back quickly after losses, while Carolina's W-L-L-L-W has been bookended by wins around a rougher middle stretch.
Carolina will be without Tershawn Wharton and Chris Brazzell II, the latter on injured reserve, thinning out their available depth for this trip to Buffalo.
Buffalo enters missing Tyrell Shavers and Dorian Strong, both ruled out, trimming the options Josh Allen has at his disposal.
Josh Allen leads Buffalo at kickoff alongside Kyle Allen, with Alec Anderson, Spencer Brown, Nick Broeker, Jude Bowry, Skyler Bell and Jackson Acker rounding out the group taking the field.
The Bills lead the AFC East by 0½, winners of 2 straight. The Panthers sit 2nd in the NFC South, 0½ games back, coming off a win.
The Bills are up next home vs Steelers (Aug 27), then at Texans. The Panthers are up next home vs Texans (Aug 28), then home vs Bears.
