The triumphant Week 3 performance of Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton now feels like it happened ages ago. Week 7 brought the fourth straight loss for the 36-year-old passer and the Panthers,

Dalton enjoyed a sensational return to life as a starter when he replaced Young in September and lit up the Las Vegas Raiders for three touchdowns and 319 yards. He's not been as sharp since then, throwing four touchdowns and six interceptions across his next four contests, all of which have resulted in losses for Carolina.

The Carolina Panthers are celebrating their 30th season in the National Football League. Unfortunately, these are not happy times for the franchise. The team hasn’t made the playoffs since 2017 and is off to a 1-5 start this season.
