Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers’ Week 3 win over Raiders

The Carolina Panthers finally put some pretty football on tape.

Here are the best (and worst) Pro Football Focus grades from Week 3’s 36-22 win over the Las Vegas Raiders:

Best of the offense

1. RB Chuba Hubbard: 90.6
2. QB Andy Dalton: 78.8
3. WR Diontae Johnson: 77.1
4. LT Ikem Ekwonu: 76.2
5. WR Adam Thielen: 70.4

For the first time since 2022, Carolina had a 300-yard passer (Dalton), a 100-yard rusher (Hubbard) and a 100-yard receiver (Johnson) in a single game. Hubbard’s 90.6 overall offensive grade is the highest for any Panther in 2024.

Ekwonu turned in his best outing of the campaign, earning season-highs in pass-blocking (72.6) and run-blocking (83.1) marks.

15. WR Xavier Legette: 54.6
16. RG Brady Christensen: 54.1
17. TE Tommy Tremble: 52.0
18. LG Chandler Zavala: 48.2
19. TE Ja’Tavion Sanders: 43.1

Zavala came in for 22 snaps following the elbow injury to starting left guard Damien Lewis. He did not allow a single pressure, but was hit with a 58.0 run-blocking grade.

Best of the defense

1. DT A’Shawn Robinson: 82.5
2. CB Troy Hill: 79.4
3. DT Jayden Peevy: 74.1
4. ILB Josey Jewell: 73.6
5. OLB Tarron Jackson: 69.6

Robinson picked up the slack in the absence of fellow starting defensive lineman Shy Tuttle, tallying five pressures and a stop. Peevy also stood tall, recording a pair of pressures and a pair of stops.
