The 0-1 Carolina Panthers travel to the desert to take on the 1-0 Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in a late-afternoon Week 2 clash.

A key storyline will be whether the Panthers’ young offense can find rhythm against a Cardinals defense that forced multiple turnovers in Week 1.
Kickoff is set for 4:05 PM ET on FOX, part of the Sunday doubleheader.
