The Carolina Panthers will play three games on the West Coast in 2016, the most cross-country flights they've ever had scheduled for a regular season.

With games at Seattle and Oakland already on next year's schedule, the Panthers on Tuesday night added a trip to Los Angeles. That's where they'll face the Rams, who were approved for relocation by NFL owners.

The Panthers had been scheduled to play the Rams at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, but the shift to what will likely be the LA Coliseum adds about 3,000 miles round trip to Carolina's 2016 total.
