The Carolina Panthers cruised to a convincing 28-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 3 of the 2026 season. With this win, the Panthers solidify their position in the early playoff race, while the Browns face questions about their offensive consistency moving forward. Quarterback Bryce Young led the Panthers with a solid performance, throwing for a touchdown, while Deshaun Watson of the Browns racked up 270 passing yards but struggled to find the end zone. On the ground, Quinshon Judkins showcased his skills for Cleveland with 87 rushing yards, but it was Tetairoa McMillan who stole the show for Carolina, racking up 114 receiving yards to keep the chains moving. Defensively, the Panthers were disruptive, with Mike Jackson leading the team with nine total tackles. The game's turning point came when Tre'von Moehrig intercepted a pass, halting a potential Browns scoring drive and shifting momentum back to Carolina. Despite Quincy Williams’ lone sack for Cleveland, the Panthers' defense maintained control throughout, ensuring their victory.
