It was also the team's 8th season at Bank of America Stadium. They failed to improve upon their record in 2003, a year when they finished the regular season 11–5 and ultimately fell 29–32 in Super Bowl XXXVIII to the New England Patriots and they finished 7–9. Their collapse to a 1–7 record start was because of key injuries to their starters including wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. through the first eight games. Despite their late-season rally, they failed to make the playoffs. They would suffer another collapse in 2016 to a 6–10 record that year after appearing in Super Bowl 50 the previous season.
