Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Panthers–Seahawks rivalry was closed in 2016. Here are four sources published in 2018 and 2020:
The article notes (my bolding):
You don’t need to be in the same division to have a true rivalry in the NFL. There are plenty of teams that have bitter histories with one another despite not having to play twice a year. Think of 49ers-Cowboys, Patriots-Colts, Giants-49ers, Seahawks-Panthers and more recently Saints-Vikings.
On Sunday, the Seahawks and Packers add another chapter to their growing rivalry that has already seen them play twice in the playoffs and a handful of times in the regular season with exciting or strange outcomes. Let’s take a look at five of those games.
The article notes:
The Seahawks and Panthers have developed an unlikely rivalry over the past half-decade or so, one which really ignited when they split back-to-back Divisional Round playoff games in the 2014 and 2015 seasons (each time the winner went on to lose the Super Bowl). Sunday's clash in Charlotte is almost as important as those two games - the victor puts themselves into pole position in the NFC wild card race.
The article notes (my bolding):
Winning seven of nine games in a rivalry and two-straight certainly qualifies as a tremendous success but history tends to forget how those games were won. Carroll hasn't and although he's happy to get a season-changing road win that allows them to control their playoff fortunes; he's not ready to call anything "dominant."
But then again, the Panthers probably don't care what you call it. In nine games, they have seven losses to one of their biggest non-division rivals. When they play next, that fact will undoubtedly dominate their minds if nothing else.
The article notes (my bolding):
The Panthers and Seattle Seahawks have met so often the past four seasons, it’s almost like they’re division rivals – if not for the 2,500 miles that separate them.
Sunday’s divisional-round game at Bank of America Stadium will be the sixth time Carolina (15-1) and Seattle (11-6) have played since 2012, including the Panthers’ playoff loss at Seattle last January.
The teams will meet again next season in Seattle for a seventh time in five seasons.
The Observer looks at the recent games in one of the NFL’s more interesting – and improbable – rivalries:
The article notes (my bolding):
Carolina might not always be in the Seahawks’ minds, as James Taylor sang in the 1970s, but it does seem to often be in their way.
For two franchises on opposite coasts and in separate divisions, the Seahawks and Panthers have developed an unlikely rivalry in recent years, crossing paths both with an unusual frequency and at particularly critical times, especially for Seattle.
They will do so again Sunday when the Seahawks play at Carolina in a divisional playoff game, the Panthers once again standing between Seattle and the Super Bowl.
In all, the teams have met eight times in the regular season and twice in the postseason — both of those in years in which the Seahawks advanced to the Super Bowl.
Six of those meetings have come since Pete Carroll took over as the Seahawks’ coach in 2010, meaning they have faced Carolina more than any other non-NFC West team in that time.
We could just list the games the Seahawks have played against Carolina. Instead, we thought we’d rate them in order of importance.
Bonneville International said in 2020, "their growing rivalry that has already seen them play twice in the playoffs and a handful of times in the regular season with exciting or strange outcomes".
In 2018, 247Sports.com in reference to Seahawks and Panthers called the former "one of their biggest non-division rivals".
The Athletic published an article in 2018 with the headline: "One of the NFL’s weirdest, long-distance rivalries: How Panthers vs. Seahawks became what it is today".
The Charlotte Observer said in 2016 that the Seahawks and Panthers are "one of the NFL's more interesting – and improbable – rivalries".
The Seattle Times said in 2016, "the Seahawks and Panthers have developed an unlikely rivalry in recent years, crossing paths both with an unusual frequency and at particularly critical times, especially for Seattle".
Multiple reliable sources have said that the Panthers and the Seahawks have a rivalry. The sources have explained how this rivalry started and continued.
