Welker also leads the league with 85 catches, despite missing two games with an injury. Add quarterback TOM BRADY to that mix and it is one of the biggest defensive challenges the Panthers will face.

An AFC scout breaks down the Carolina Panthers: “The biggest difference between this year and last year with them is that on offense, they’ve become more one-dimensional. Last year, they at least had the threat of throwing, since Muhsin [Muhammad] was still going and [Steve] Smith was out there.

Quarterback Tom Brady threw the ball to Moss four times, and one was intercepted.
For more than a year, Mackenzy Bernadeau prepared for his shot. The Waltham High and Bentley University alumnus had already done more than many had ever imagined. He was selected in the NFL Draft. He made an opening day roster. He dressed for five games in a Carolina Panthers uniform as a rookie. But that wasn't enough.
