Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales made the bold decision to bench rookie quarterback Bryce Young in favor of veteran Andy Dalton after a rough start to the season. Dalton's impressive performance with over 300 yards and three touchdowns was crucial for the Panthers' first victory of the season, preventing an 0-3 start. However, the win came at a cost, as reliable wide receiver Adam Thielen suffered a hamstring injury that will sideline him for at least the next four games.
The Panthers were in dire straits after beginning the season 0-2, leading to the benching of first overall pick Bryce Young. Andy Dalton, at 36, stepped in and delivered a strong showing, throwing for 300-plus yards and helping his team claim a much-needed 36-22 victory against the Raiders. Still, the injury to Adam Thielen dampened the victory, as he is expected to miss significant time with a hamstring issue.
