Grading the Carolina Panthers for Sunday’s 24-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
D+ Quarterback: Backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke moved the ball well at times, including on a game-opening touchdown drive, and it’s difficult to evaluate him fully because of his second-quarter injury. Three interceptions and red zone issues bring this grade down.
A Running backs: Christian McCaffrey had 101 rushing yards on 21 carries. He also broke the single-season running back receptions record (104), finishing the game with 106 catches on the season. McCaffrey also set the single-season receptions record for the franchise.
