The victory keeps the Panthers in contention for a playoff spot as they continue to build momentum in Season 3. Both teams fought hard, but it was Carolina that made the crucial plays to secure the win. Quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr led the Panthers’ offense with a solid performance, throwing for 229 yards, while Drew Allar contributed with one passing touchdown.
