NFL Power Rankings Week 15 2022, Carolina Panthers VS Pittsburgh Steelers
Carolina Panthers Form
The Carolina Panthers defied their underdog status to bag a 30-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks in their last match, leaving them 4-6 for the last 10 matches and 3-2 in the last 5 at home.
The Panthers have scored 20.0 points per game this season, which is pretty average compared to the other NFL offenses. Surrendering 22.3 points per game leaves the Carolina Panthers’ defense around the middle of the pack compared to the rest of the league’s defensive units.
2021 was a year to forget for the Panthers. The hosts failed to reach the playoffs, having finished fourth in the NFC South at 5-12, and are expected to miss the NFL postseason again, having gone 5-8 so far in the current campaign.
Pittsburgh Steelers Form
The Pittsburgh Steelers were left licking their wounds when the Baltimore Ravens beat them 14-16 in their last match. They now have a 5-8 record for the season and are 2-3 in the last five at home.
The away offense seems to have found another level in performance of late. While the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season average stands at 17.5 points, the offensive unit has put 21.4 points on board in the last five matches alone.
A middle-of-the-pack defense is what the Pittsburgh Steelers have to offer ahead of their latest road trip, with 22.5 points allowed across 13 matches so far.
Reaching the Super Bowl is the ultimate dream for the Steelers. It’s a big ask though. Not only did the visitors exit in the first round of last season’s playoffs, but they’re only 5-8 this year, and unless things pick up soon, even a postseason berth will be out of their reach.
