After two weeks in football’s worst passing offense, WR Diontae Johnson can exit a stadium with a smile on his face, a touchdown in his hands, and a win under his belt. The Carolina Panthers quarterback change from Bryce Young to Andy Dalton breathed life into a cold Panthers’ offense. With Dalton running the show, Johnson caught his first touchdown and Carolina secured their first win, beating the Las Vegas Raiders 36-22 victory.
Johnson scored from 5-yards out mid-way through the second quarter, giving the Panthers a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. A well-thrown ball from Dalton to Johnson on an over route, Johnson tracking and making the snag over a Raiders’ defender.
