The Carolina Panthers might have to give Remmers help, although he held his own against J.J. Watt earlier this season. Remmers allowed 5.5 sacks during the regular season, according to STATS, and was penalized three times for holding. Pro Football Focus rated him as the 60th best tackle in the league. But he has not allowed a sack or been penalized in the postseason this year. Miller, who has 60 sacks in five seasons, made life miserable for Tom Brady in the AFC Championship Game. He had 2.5 sacks, four quarterback hits, a deflected pass and an interception. Brady was hit 20 times, the most for any quarterback in any game this season.
