Looking Ahead
The Panthers (2–3) host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6. Therefore, limiting turnovers and continuing to lean on Dowdle’s ground dominance will be crucial against one of the NFC’s toughest defensive units.

Week 6 – vs. Dallas Cowboys

The Carolina Panthers edged Dallas 30–27 in Charlotte. Bryce Young was sharp (17/25, 199 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT) and took just one sack, while Rico Dowdle powered the ground game (30 rush, 183 yards) and added a 56-yard receiving TD. Rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan hauled in two scores as Carolina stacked 216 rushing yards and controlled tempo.

Key moments came from complementary pieces: TE Tommy Tremble moved the chains, and K Ryan Fitzgerald nailed all three FGs, including a clutch 55-yarder. Defensively, timely stops in the fourth quarter preserved the lead. Pre-game inactives Chuba Hubbard (calf) and Taylor Moton (elbow) kept depth in flux, but the rotation held up.

Looking Ahead: Carolina visits the New York Jets in Week 7. If Young keeps the ball out quickly and Dowdle sustains the run efficiency, the Panthers can lean on balanced offense while monitoring the return timelines for Hubbard and Moton.

Week 7 – vs. New York Jets

The Carolina Panthers earned a gritty 13–6 road win over the New York Jets, improving to 4–3 in a defensive battle defined by relentless pressure and disciplined execution. Quarterback Bryce Young showed steady control, completing 15 of 25 passes for 138 yards and one touchdown, while veteran Andy Dalton added 60 yards in relief. Rookie standout Xavier Legette emerged as the top target, hauling in 9 receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown, showcasing strong chemistry with Young and consistent separation against tight coverage.

On the ground, Rico Dowdle powered the offense with 79 rushing yards on 17 carries, providing balance to sustain drives, while Chuba Hubbard added short-yardage reliability. Defensively, the Panthers dominated from start to finish. Tre’von Moehrig, Dallas Brown, and Anthony Robinson anchored an aggressive pass rush that produced six total sacks, while cornerback Jaycee Horn sealed the game with two interceptions. Carolina’s front seven consistently collapsed the pocket, holding New York to under 200 total yards.

Looking Ahead: Now entering Week 8 to face the Buffalo Bills, Carolina’s confidence is high, but the challenge intensifies. The defense remains the team’s backbone, yet offensive consistency—especially on third downs—will be crucial to keep pace with one of the league’s most explosive attacks. Keeping Bryce Young upright and maintaining Legette’s emerging rhythm will be key to extending their winning streak.

Week 8 – vs. Buffalo Bills

Result & Key Stats
The Carolina Panthers fell 40–9 at home to the Buffalo Bills in a one-sided contest at Bank of America Stadium. Backup quarterback Andy Dalton started under center and completed 16 of 24 passes for 175 yards but was sacked seven times behind a struggling offensive line. Rookie receiver Tetairoa McMillan was a bright spot, hauling in seven catches for 99 yards and showing strong route-running despite limited scoring opportunities.

Running back Chuba Hubbard managed just 34 rushing yards on 12 carries but found the end zone in the second quarter for Carolina’s only touchdown. The Panthers’ defense battled throughout, led by linebacker Christian Rozeboom, who recorded 12 tackles and a pass deflection. Defensive end Tavius Wallace added a sack and multiple pressures, though Buffalo’s explosive passing attack ultimately proved too much to contain.

Key Moments & Looking Ahead
Carolina turned the ball over three times, including two lost fumbles from Dalton that swung momentum firmly in Buffalo’s favor. Rookie kicker Ryan Fitzgerald converted one of his two field-goal attempts, hitting from 48 yards out. Now 4–4 on the season, the Panthers will look to rebound on the road in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, hoping for the return of Bryce Young from an ankle injury to spark their offense.

Week 9 – vs. Green Bay Packers

Result & Key Stats
The Carolina Panthers edged out the Green Bay Packers 16–13 at Lambeau Field, improving to 5–4 in a gritty defensive battle. Running back Rico Dowdle was the hero of the night, carrying the ball 25 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns, powering Carolina’s offense despite quarterback Bryce Young’s limited output of 102 passing yards and one interception. The Panthers’ rushing attack was the difference, controlling possession and keeping the Packers’ offense off the field.

Key Moments & Injuries
Dowdle’s 29-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter gave Carolina the lead for good. On defense, Cade Rozeboom was a tackling machine, registering 15 total stops, while Tre’von Moehrig sealed the win with a 36-yard interception return late in the game. The pass rush, led by Tershawn Wharton and Nana Scourton, consistently pressured Green Bay’s quarterback, limiting their ability to find rhythm. Carolina avoided major injuries but will continue to monitor Bryce Young’s ankle and key linemen’s workloads.

Looking Ahead
Now 5–4, the Panthers return home to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. With momentum from consecutive strong defensive showings, Carolina will look to solidify its playoff position and continue relying on Dowdle’s breakout performances to balance the offense.
