There are bad losses and then there is what the Las Vegas Raiders experienced Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
The Panthers came into the game almost a touchdown underdog. That seemed kind given the way they played in the first two weeks of the season. Carolina lost both of its games and had been outscored 73-13.
The week was filled with controversy in Carolina as Bryce Young, the overall No. 1 pick in 2023, was benched in favor of veteran Andy Dalton.
Dave Canales in his first year as Carolina’s coach made a brilliant move.
Dalton threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns as the Panthers rocked the Raiders, 36-22.
The game was tied at 7-7 after the first quarter. Dalton led the Panthers to 26 straight points before the Raiders finally answered with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter when it was far too late.
Everything’s coming up @Panthers right now
