Roman Harper was the only veteran the Panthers hung onto when they rebuilt their secondary midseason.
And for 16 weeks, you wondered if he had pictures of someone.
But he paid the Panthers back for their loyalty, picking off a Matt Ryan pass and returning it for a touchdown in the second quarter, giving the Panthers a 17-3 lead in the NFC South title game.
Harper’s been valuable to the Panthers for settling a secondary full of kids, and is noted as being good in the locker room. He hasn’t been very good on the field this year, but he just made a play that will make people in Charlotte forget a lot of blown coverages.
The Panthers just created another turnover, and are threatening to run away with this one, and claim a division title with a 7-8-1 record.
