Through dozens of exclusive interviews with key players, coaches, fans, team officials and others connected to the team, the inside story of the 2015 Panthers team will be told in a way that it never has before by reporters Scott Fowler and Théoden Janes and visual journalist Jeff Siner. That team began the season 14-0, won the NFC Championship in Charlotte and then suffered a disappointing loss in the Super Bowl.
