Still, I do have a couple of quibbles.


While the build-up of Jackson's matchup with Antonio Brown before the Steelers game showed the rookie bristling at coaching and veteran advice, it felt like there was a bit too much blame placed on his shoulders for what happened in that blowout loss. And when describing Josh Norman during the game at Washington, he was characterized as leaving Carolina in 2016. That technically happened, but clearly, it wasn't that simple.


Norman actually features in my favorite scene of the entire series when he FaceTimes with Newton and Luke Kuechly in the days leading up to their Week 6 meeting. It's the type of banter many fans may imagine their favorite players have, and it plays out perfectly considering the three personalities involved.


Then there's David Tepper. Talk about personality. The series reinforces the thought that there can't be another owner like him in the league. As we've seen in his year since buying the Panthers, Tepper wants to be an every man. But he's also the every fan. A camera in the owner's box during games shows Tepper cheering, chanting, admitting to nerves and pointing after first downs. Even more powerful are moments when he's watching by himself, like as the final seconds tick away in Pittsburgh.


But the best part of the production is saved for last. The final scene is brilliant television. As the page turns to 2019, so much of what's happening around the franchise right now goes beyond that. Like last season, there will be bumps in the road. But it's going to be one heck of a ride.
