Sometimes it’s your year and sometimes it’s just not. For Carolina, it’s safe to say it’s their year.
Even when they fumble the ball, things still seem to work out perfectly for them. Take what happened in Sunday’s game against the Bucs when Jonathan Stewart fumbled the ball but it went right into the hands of Ed Dickson, who caught it on the run and took it 57 yards for a touchdown:

What about that rule that you cannot advance a fumble, you ask? FOX NFL rules guru Mike Pereira explains why it counts:
Forward fumble rules in #CARvsTB only apply on 4th downs, a try, or inside 2 minutes… It's a touchdown! #NFLonFOX
