The Carolina Panthers have lost three straight games since Andy Dalton delivered a feel-good win over the Las Vegas Raiders just days after first-year head coach Dave Canales made a bold move and benched 2023 No.

The Carolina Panthers were competitive for three quarters with the Atlanta Falcons, but the fourth quarter made the difference with a key mistake by QB Andy Dalton. Let’s get out the red pen and grade this latest home loss.

With the Panthers at the Falcons' 5-yard line, Dalton dropped back to pass and was quickly flushed from the pocket on third down. He made the smart decision to rifle the ball out of bounds before getting sacked. But even Dalton's throwaway passes are accurate, apparently. He drilled a cameraman in the endzone right in the dome.
