Despite finishing the season with an 8-9 record, the Carolina Panthers won the NFC South and earned the right to host a playoff game in the Wild Card round. Carolina opened the 2025-2026 postseason at Bank of America Stadium against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. The Panthers are looking for their first playoff win since reaching the Super Bowl in 2015.
Cam Newton released a hype video in the lead-up to Carolina’s showdown with Los Angeles. And on Saturday, another franchise great got fans riled up for the Wild Card clash. Steve Smith Sr. took the field prior to kickoff and addressed the crowd.
“Let’s go, wave your towels! Let’s keep pounding!” Smith yelled as Panthers fans roared, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
