The Carolina Panthers finally put some pretty football on tape.
Here are the best (and worst) Pro Football Focus grades from Week 3’s 36-22 win over the Las Vegas Raiders:
Best of the offense
1. RB Chuba Hubbard: 90.6
2. QB Andy Dalton: 78.8
3. WR Diontae Johnson: 77.1
4. LT Ikem Ekwonu: 76.2
5. WR Adam Thielen: 70.4
For the first time since 2022, Carolina had a 300-yard passer (Dalton), a 100-yard rusher (Hubbard) and a 100-yard receiver (Johnson) in a single game. Hubbard’s 90.6 overall offensive grade is the highest for any Panther in 2024.
Ekwonu turned in his best outing of the campaign, earning season-highs in pass-blocking (72.6) and run-blocking (83.1) marks.
Worst of the offense
15. WR Xavier Legette: 54.6
16. RG Brady Christensen: 54.1
17. TE Tommy Tremble: 52.0
18. LG Chandler Zavala: 48.2

Zavala came in for 22 snaps following the elbow injury to starting left guard Damien Lewis. He did not allow a single pressure, but was hit with a 58.0 run-blocking grade.

2. CB Troy Hill: 79.4
3. DT Jayden Peevy: 74.1
