The Carolina Panthers may be out of the running, but that doesn’t mean the race is over. The Buffalo Bills are taking on the Denver Broncos at 4:30 ET/2:30 MT in Denver this afternoon and the San Francisco 49ers are visiting the Seattle Seahawks at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT this evening.
The remaining results of these playoffs have no real implications on the Panthers 2026 draft position or schedule, so there’s not much in the way of obvious rooting interests this week. Depending on your feelings regarding Super Bowl L and/or Sean McDermott in Buffalo, there are some easy story lines to get behind in Denver today. The NFC West championship redux, on the other hand, really only has Christian McCaffrey as a tie-in for Carolina fans.
This is your open thread to follow along with us for all the action today.
