Before the Carolina Panthers even play a single snap in the 2016 NFL playoffs, the team wanted to take a chance to thank their many supporters. With a huge matchup against the Seattle Seahawks looming, Carolina gave a shout out to their many fans for giving them a true home field advantage.

Via TWC News:

"Our home field advantage is you.

The cheers, chants, tweets, posts, comments, signs, shares, likes, photos, and fist bumps from our fans mean everything to us. Thank you for being the most valuable member of our team...

Because you #KeepPounding we do, too."

After a stellar 15-1 regular season, Carolina hopes to keep the momentum going as they begin their push towards the Super Bowl.
