The Commanders bounce back from a tough loss against the Baltimore Ravens with a 33-point win over the Carolina Panthers
The Washington Commanders took care of business at home against the Carolina Panthers, moving to 5-2 following their 40-7 win. The 33-point margin of victory against the Panthers was kicked off by a Dante Fowler Jr. pick-six, which was Fowler’s first career interception and interception return for a touchdown. While the Commanders’ offense scored 30 points without their rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, the defense was the primary reason the Panthers had no chance in the game. The unit eliminated the threat of the Panthers’ running game, which averaged over 130 rushing yards in its last four games, and took the ball away in the passing game. Second-year cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr., who played four snaps against the Cleveland Browns and was a healthy inactive against the Baltimore Ravens, picks Andy Dalton off in Forbes’ first action in two weeks.
