The Carolina Panthers will visit the Los Angeles Rams with an interim head coach and likely a new starting quarterback. In their first game since Matt Rhule was fired, the Panthers are the biggest betting underdogs on the Week 6 schedule.
Rhule couldn’t survive a 1-4 start to the 2022 season, bringing his career record in Carolina to 11-27. Baker Mayfield posted the worst passer rating of any quarterback who started each of the first five weeks. A high ankle sprain is expected to sideline Mayfield, clearing the way for PJ Walker to get the start. A visit from the Panthers might be just what Rams need to get back to .500.
Let’s take a look at some key statistics and information about this matchup.
