This article describes a non-existent rivalry between two teams who were simultaneously competitive briefly during the mid-2010s. Nothing has changed since this article was deleted in 2020 (though I do not think WP:G4 applies, this article was created by a different user who was not on Wikipedia in 2020). The references fail WP:GNG in terms of establishing a rivalry. All are WP:ROUTINE coverage except this Rolling Stone article which explains the teams "could become" a great rivalry (with no follow-up that such a rivalry was established).

Delete: Not an actual rivalry. The Rolling Stone article is from 2016, evidently nothing emerged. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 20:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only sources are from 2016 and merely suggest that a rivalry could hypothetically develop, but there is no substantive evidence that it actually exists or ever existed. This agrees with the deleted 2020 version of the article: In 2016, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll claimed the Panthers were not a rival. USA Today claimed in 2019 that a rivalry no longer existed between the two teams and a Seahawks USA Today blog in 2019 gave the Panthers only an honourable mention for biggest rivals, saying "this isn't too much of a rivalry." Beyond that, this is nothing but a matchup log hardly worth its own article. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Did a quick search and found the Rollin Stones article, but we do not WP:CRYSTALBALL about rivalries. They either exist with WP:SIGCOV or they don't. Conyo14 (talk) 23:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As the nom mentioned, the sources are all routine coverage for the NFL. There's not enough here to show that there's actually a rivalry. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: none of the cited sources are centered on a "rivalry" between the teams. PK-WIKI (talk) 01:10, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
