Panthers Defeat Raiders for First Win of 2024

The Carolina Panthers secured their first win of the 2024 season, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 36-22 behind quarterback Andy Dalton, who threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns. Dalton's stellar performance came after he replaced Bryce Young, who had struggled in previous games, failing to throw a touchdown in the first two. Head coach Dave Canales praised the team's cohesive effort and Dalton's ability to exploit favorable coverages, marking a significant turnaround for the Panthers' offense. This victory not only ended a road losing streak dating back to 2022 but also showcased the potential of the team's roster under Canales' leadership. Former Panthers players expressed their support for Dalton and the coaching decision, indicating a growing trust within the team. The Panthers now look to build on this momentum in their upcoming matchup against the Bengals.
