The Carolina Panthers will play the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in one of three late afternoon games in Week 6 of the NFL 2015 regular season. The Seahawks are having a tough time this season, and will want to use CenturyLink Field as their fortress to battle back to .500 today. The Panthers meanwhile are still undefeated and will be looking to claim what would be a massive win on the road in Seattle. The game has a scheduled start time of 4 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the Fox network, or online through live stream via the link below.
The perfect Carolina Panthers come into today's game on 4-0, looking to pile on the agony for the 2-3 Seahawks.
In the Panthers minds will be last season's divisional Playoff loss to Seattle at CenturyLink Field, and they will be hoping to gain a degree of revenge for that loss today.
If the Panthers can win today they will set a franchise record ninth consecutive regular season victory.
The Seahawks meanwhile have struggled through this season, showing flashes of brilliance, but struggling to close games out, and that has put them in negative record region heading towards the midway point in the season.
One of the main reasons the Panthers have done so well is down to quarterback Cam Newton, who has looked excellent this season. He has not thrown an interception since Week 2 against Houston, and leads the league for quarterbacks with 48.8 rushing yards per game. Last Sunday he ran 51 yards on 12 carries, as well as throwing two touchdowns as the Panthers won 37-23 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Whether Newton will be able to banish some of the pain suffering against the Seahawks in recent years, or whether Seattle will again be a place of disappointment for Carolina remains to be seen.
Elsewhere in the NFL, earlier this week the Atlanta Falcons suffered their first defeat of the season, coming up short against the New Orleans Saints on NFL Thursday Night Football.
Drew Brees was the clear difference between the teams, with the Saints' quarterback passing for 312 yards. Brees connected excellently with Ben Watson, who posted a career high of 127 yards receiving, including a fourth down touchdown catch.
The game also saw an spectacular punt block by Michael Mauti, who went on to recover the ball for a touchdown to the delight of tens of thousands of fans at the Superdome.
There were also two short touchdowns for Mark Ingram, as the Saints put on arguably their best display of the season so far. The New Orleans defense also were fantastic, and arguably turned the game by recovering three fumbles, including two inside the Saints' own 20 yard line.
Even though there was a late rally by the Falcons, it was a matter of too little too late for Atlanta as they went down 21-31.
