Julius Peppers, 37, puts some old-man perspective on Panthers’ victory over Patriots

Posted Oct 2, 2017
Julius Peppers has played in 228 regular-season games over his 16 seasons. Sunday was just another one. Yes, the Carolina Panthers beat the defending Super Bowl champions on their own (soft) turf, and did so in dramatic fashion. “It’s early. This is only the fourth game. We’ve got a lot of football left to play,” Peppers said after Sunday’s 33-30 victory over the Patriots. (Charlotte Observer)
