Then in Week 2, the Panthers will travel to New Jersey to face the New York Giants, followed by three straight home games -- first against the New Orleans Saints, then the Arizona Cardinals, and finally the San Francisco 49ers. 

The Panthers will play the late-afternoon time slot in Week 6 against the Rams and in Week 14 against the Seahawks. 

The Panthers have one prime-time game scheduled for this year: a Thursday matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 10 in Week 10.
