Lions preview: Breaking down Panthers’ offensive, defensive schemes

As the undefeated Detroit Lions prepare to face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday Night Football in Week 4, coach Dan Campbell acknowledges that his team faces a hostile environment and a motivated opponent. The Panthers enter the contest at 1-2 after a division title and playoff berth last season, leaning heavily on a pass-first scheme coordinated by Brad Idzik and directed by head coach Dave Canales.

Carolina utilizes plenty of 11 and 12 personnel while heavily featuring play-action passes, which helps quarterback Bryce Young power an aerial attack that averages a league-best 295.7 yards per contest.
