Panthers Return to Canton: Firsts and Favorites

The Carolina Panthers are returning to the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, this summer, facing the Arizona Cardinals. This marks their first appearance since 1995, when they played their inaugural game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That game, filled with firsts and high energy, saw tight end Bob Christian score the first Panthers touchdown and rookie cornerback Tyrone Poole return an interception for another score. The game held extra significance as a matchup between the two new expansion teams, with the Panthers channeling the rivalry into a strong debut season. The Panthers early moments in Canton captured the fresh excitement that fueled their quick rise, including a twelve-and-four mark the next year and an NFC Championship run.
