Carolina Panthers 2012 Season Schedule & Scores

In his sophomore year in 2012, Cam Newton led the Panthers to a modest improvement, finishing with a 7-9 record. However, the outcome was still below expectations. Despite Newton displaying his impressive dual-threat skills, the team faced significant defensive challenges and lacked overall consistency. The defense conceded the third-most points in the league, while the offense struggled to sustain drives and convert in the red zone. Key injuries and erratic performance contributed to the Panthers ending the season with a losing record.
