The National Football League (NFL) series between the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks will become the "next great NFL rivalry" according to Rolling Stone magazine.[3] Both franchises have combined for 5 Super Bowl appearances, 22 playoff appearances, and 15 division championships (9 for Seattle and 6 for Carolina).[3][4] Seattle leads the series 7–4. The series has been called "must see TV,"[5] while quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Cam Newton have drawn comparisons to the Tom Brady–Peyton Manning rivalry.[6]

History

The Panthers and Seahawks first played each other in 2000, with Carolina winning in a blowout. The first playoff matchup between both teams dates back to the 2005 NFC Championship game.[7] The Seahawks won, defeating the Panthers team 34–14 and advancing to Super Bowl XL.[8][9] At that point in time, neither team considered the other a major rival. The rivalry developed from games played in 2012, 2013, and 2014. These games were very close, low-scoring contests with one or two big plays late in the game deciding the outcome. Seattle won all three games.[10][11][12] The teams met again in the divisional round of the 2014 playoffs where the Seahawks knocked off the Panthers 31–17.[13] The Panthers beat the Seahawks twice during the 2015 season, once during their regular season matchup in Week 5 by a score of 27–23 and again in the divisional playoffs where they won 31–24 en route to their Super Bowl 50 appearance.[14]
