Some things have changed in the three years since the Carolina Panthers and Cincinnati Bengals last met. Others have stayed the same. Cam Newton is no longer a struggling rookie quarterback for the Panthers, and Andy Dalton has established himself as a legitimate threat at QB for the Bengals. Yet the Bengals once again enter today’s Panthers game as favorites,

It may seem early, but the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Cleveland today for a Week 1 rematch against the Browns that five weeks ago went decidedly in the Steelers’ favor. Although the Browns made a huge comeback in Week 1, the Steelers held on for their closest win of the 2014 season. The Pittsburgh Steelers had two stars in their
