 A regular season opening contest at San Diego and a Monday night home game against NFC South rival Tampa Bay highlight the Carolina Panthers 2008 schedule released Tuesday by the National Football League. The Panthers begin the year on the road for the second consecutive season when they play the defending AFC West champion Chargers on September 7.

It might take a week with the Panthers and every other team heading to Indy for the Combine, but you might see two familiar NFC South players end up playing for the Carolina Panthers.

For the fifth time in six years under head coach John Fox, the Carolina Panthers concluded a season with a road victory. And for the fifth consecutive season, they won at Raymond James Stadium by defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 31-23, Sunday to finish with a 7-9 record.

One of the bright spots in Carolina's 20-13 loss to Dallas on Saturday night at Bank of America Stadium was the play of linebacker Thomas Davis. Davis recorded the first interception of his NFL career when he stepped in front of a Tony Romo pass intended for Patrick Crayton early in the fourth quarter to go along with four tackles and one forced fumble on Cowboys running back Marion Barber in the first quarter.
