If you're watching the Panthers on Sunday, expect a new look on defense. Carolina (3-4) fired defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero on Fri., Oct. 30, a day after a 27-19 loss at Green Bay, and the team had allowed 70 points in two weeks.

  • Also let go: defensive passing game coordinator Jonathan Cooley
  • Run defense: ranked 30th in the league
  • Kickoff: Sunday, 1 p.m., Panthers host the Broncos (6-2)

Canales gave Wash one order after the promotion: "Stop the run." Wash was Jacksonville's defensive coordinator for five seasons, and the defense is embracing his energy, WRAL reported.
