Grading the Carolina Panthers for Sunday’s 33-14 win against New Orleans:
A Quarterback: Third-string rookie undrafted free agent quarterback Kyle Allen did an admirable job in his first NFL start. He was 16 of 27 for 228 yards, two passing touhdowns and ran one in himself. He wasn’t intercepted. He had to leave the game in the fourth quarter after taking a brutal hit.
B Running backs: Backup running back Cameron Artis-Payne took the bulk of Sunday’s workload, rushing for 56 yards and a touchdown.
A Receivers: Carolina’s young receivers, and rookie tight end Ian Thomas, showed their potential.
