Andy Dalton gave the Panthers the quarterback play they've been sorely lacking, throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns to lead Carolina past the Las Vegas Raiders 36-22 on Sunday.
Carolina, now 3-17 going back to last season, was outscored a combined 73-13 by the Saints and Chargers in the first two weeks before Coach Dave Canales benched Young, the No. 1 overall draft pick just a year ago, on Monday.
In the first half alone, Dalton threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns. His first three-TD performance in two years lifted a Panthers offense that had scored a single field goal in its previous two road games.The result was a disheartening loss for Las Vegas , which hoped to build on its 26-23 victory at Baltimore last week but instead more closely resembled the team that had a win projection at BetMGM Sportsbook of 6 1/2.
Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy's conservative play-calling drew repeated boos throughout the game. His close-to-the-vest strategy has developed into a storyline, and it likely doesn't help that his former quarterback with the Bears,Perhaps more alarming, the Raiders' defense had no answers for Dalton or Hubbard. It didn't help thatdidn't play every defensive snap for the first time this season after hurting his ankle against the Ravens.
