Denver's red-zone matchup supports Broncos -3 against the Panthers. The Broncos have turned 75% of their red-zone trips into touchdowns since Week 3. Carolina has allowed touchdowns on 80% of opponent visits this season.
Bo Nix averaged 7.3 yards per attempt over his last two games, up from 5.5 in Weeks 1-6. Carolina is without pass rusher Jaelan Phillips and cornerback Will Lee III.
Carolina has allowed 11 sacks over its last two games, and left guard Damien Lewis is out again. That leaves a depleted line facing a Denver defense with 144 pressures this season.
