This article was originally published on www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi as NFL analyst rips Dave Canales for cowardly move in Panthers loss. The Carolina Panthers were not remotely ready to compete with the NFC-leading Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon. Despite a pretty strong defensive performance, the offense could not muster anything up.

Trailing during the third period, Florida's veterans ignited a furious rally and gave the Panthers a fun comeback win.

A win over the Seattle Seahawks, coupled with a loss by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, would've clinched them their first NFC South title since 2015. But despite getting that help from Tampa, they fell short to Seattle—in a crushing 27-10 defeat.

That ghost re-emerged in Sunday's press conference for Panthers head coach Dave Canales, who echoed an all-too-familiar line that was commonly heard from ex-Carolina coach Ron Rivera. Here's Canales on the missed opportunity that was their latest loss, per Joe Person at The Athletic.

In their first meeting back on Nov. 13, the Panthers cruised to a 6-3 win over the Capitals behind three-point performances from Sam Reinhart (2G, 1A) Anton Lundell (3A) and Luostarinen (1G, 2A), as well as an outstanding 37-save showing from Daniil Tarasov. This will be the last time the Panthers play the Capitals in Sunrise this season.

Sam Reinhart scores two goals, helping the Florida Panthers beat the Washington Capitals 5-3 on Monday night. The Panthers have nine wins in their past 12 games.

Dave Canales could get a key lineman back and he'll also spend time this week trying to get Bryce Young back on track.

Option two ends up with three teams in a three-way tie atop the NFC South standings at 8-9. The first tie breaker is head-to-head record, which the Panthers would win and thus take the division title and the four seed on the NFC side of the playoff bracket.
