Bills Rout Panthers 40-9 as Run Defense Collapses and Injuries Pile Up

At 4-4, questions about coaching sharpen the pressure on a thin roster.

Overview

  • With Bryce Young out with an ankle injury, Andy Dalton started and committed three turnovers while taking seven sacks.
  • Buffalo dominated on the ground, with James Cook rushing for 216 yards as the Bills totaled about 245 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.
  • Carolina’s offense mustered only a short Chuba Hubbard touchdown in an otherwise ineffective performance.
  • Injuries mounted for the Panthers, including a knee injury for Derrick Brown and what coach Dave Canales called a serious Achilles injury for Brady Christensen, with Taylor Moton also exiting.
  • Local commentary criticized Dave Canales’ personnel usage, including alternating series for Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle, as the team looks toward a road trip to Green Bay next week.
