It's been a decade since the Carolina Panthers played in Super Bowl 50.
Why it matters: The Panthers 2015 team drew global attention.
State of play: Sunday's Super Bowl will be in the same facility — Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
What we're watching: The Panthers won their division and hosted their first playoff game since the 2015 season. Legendary quarterback Cam Newton beat the Keep Pounding drum ahead of the game.
The bottom line: After years of mediocrity, the Panthers are relevant again.
