<p>The <strong>Buffalo Bills </strong>returned to winning ways on Sunday with a commanding 40-9 win over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Carolina Panthers</strong></a>. Josh Allen and Co. had no mercy on the Panthers, who missed Bryce Young for the game.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>James Cook</strong> put up a show with 210 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. Khalil Shakir led the passing game with 88 yards on six receptions and one touchdown for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Bills</a>.</p>



<p>Second-year wide receiver<strong> Keon Coleman</strong> again struggled to get things going, recording only 30 yards on three receptions. Coleman carried high expectations coming into the season, but he’s failed to meet them, which has granted him plenty of criticism.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Steve Smith Sr. calls out Keon Coleman amid complex season</h2>



<p>Former Panthers wide receiver <strong>Steve Smith</strong> didn’t mince words when assessing Keon Coleman’s 2025 season. During a recent episode of “89,” a podcast hosted by the former wideout and reporter James Palmer, Smith was very critical of Coleman.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/15121109/keon-coleman-bills-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Keon Coleman will look to deliver on his second year in the NFL" class="wp-image-418847" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Keon Coleman #0 of the Buffalo Bills </figcaption></figure>



<p>“<strong><em>He just doesn’t get open fast enough,”</em></strong> Smith said. <em>“Josh Allen looks his way. There’s a few times when it’s press coverage when Josh looks over there. But Josh gets off of him very fast. And some people say, ‘Well, he was open on this play, but Josh got off of him.’ Yes. That means he’s taking too long.”</em></p>



<p>After a strong 112-yard performance against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, <strong>Coleman’s level wasn’t the same. </strong>He has averaged 20.8 yards per game, which isn’t ideal for a player with his potential. The Bills have struggled to find a reliable wide receiver after trading Stefon Diggs, and Coleman isn’t the answer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers">Carolina Panthers’</a> <strong>three-game winning streak</strong> came to an abrupt end against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8 of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The Bills pulled no punches and dominated the matchup, leaving Highmark Stadium with a 40-9 win.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Carolina will face another tough matchup in Week 9. The Green Bay Packers, fresh off beating the<strong> Pittsburgh Steelers,</strong> will host the Panthers at Lambeau Field.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Andy Dalton</strong> started against the Bills and it’s unclear if he’ll get the keys to the car again against the Packers. With Bryce Young out with an injury, perhaps starting Dalton wouldn’t be crazy for the Panthers.</p>



<h2>NFL writer says Panthers should rest Bryce Young one more week&nbsp;</h2>



<p><strong>Zach Roberts</strong> of SI wrote on Tuesday that holding Young out one more week would be in the Panthers’ best interest, considering that he would face a tough defense and the Panthers could afford to drop this game.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/19152138/bryce-young-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Bryce Young" class="wp-image-511973" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers.</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<strong><em>If the Panthers lose and drop to 4-5, the season isn’t over,” </em></strong>Roberts wrote.<em> “And even if it is, this wasn’t really a season in which Carolina needed to contend. It’s a slow rebuild, and they didn’t need to make a massive leap, so if the juggernaut schedule the rest of the way gets them, so be it. With that in mind, one loss isn’t as detrimental. The Panthers, without Bryce Young, would almost certainly lose to the Green Bay Packers next Sunday. They may just want to take the loss and keep Young safe for another week to fully heal. High ankle sprains take two or more weeks usually.”</em></p>



<p>After a shaky start,<strong> Young found his rhythm in the league</strong>. The quarterback has shown off his talents and demonstrated that he can lead the team until the high ankle sprain hit him.&nbsp;</p>


Panthers urged to make surprise decision on Bryce Young

Panthers urged to make surprise decision on Bryce Young - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> didn’t have the best game on Sunday, as the<strong> Buffalo Bills </strong>swept them off the field despite a slow start. The Bills hit the gas in the second quarter, scoring 16 points to enter halftime 19-3 up.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With quarterback Bryce Young out, the Panthers couldn’t rely on their running game, either, as <strong>Rico Dowdle</strong> and<strong> Chuba Hubbard </strong>combined for 88 yards on 20 carries. Hubbard scored his team’s only touchdown in the 40-9 loss.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The two-man committee failed to make an impact against the Bills, prompting people to wonder if the Panthers should give the keys to the car to one running back <strong>and make the other the RB2.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<h2>Dave Canales praises Rico Dowdle’s impact on Panthers’ offense</h2>



<p><strong>Dave Canales</strong> is reluctant to go with one or the other, explaining that Hubbard has given a lot to the team, but Dowdle has made strides in his first season with the NFC South franchise.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/04133112/chubba-the-chubby-hubbard-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Chuba Hubbard #30 of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-485287" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Chuba Hubbard #30 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“Chuba has meant a lot to his organization, certainly to the identity that we wanted to build our team on, and we wanted to give Chuba the opportunity to go out and continue to impact our team in a positive way,</em></strong>” Canales said Monday, via ESPN. <em>“We cannot ignore that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games, and then in the opportunities he’s had over the last two weeks. He’s made some excellent plays. Love the tempo and violence that he’s running with. And these are all things that we’re talking about and working through this week.”</em></p>



<p>The Panthers<strong> dropped to 4-4 </strong>after the Bills game. They will clash with another big opponent in Week 9, the Green Bay Packers, hoping to get back to winning ways against one of the best teams in the conference.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buffalo Bills</a></strong> put on a clinic off their bye against the <strong>Carolina Panthers</strong>. They were absolutely dominant and once again, quarterback <strong>Josh Allen</strong> was stellar. Scoring twice with his legs and that made him surpass Panthers’ legend <strong>Cam Newton</strong>. </p>



<p>Allen also threw for one tuddie to Khalil Shakir. By doing so, <strong>he passed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cam-newton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Newton</a> for the most games with both a passing and rushing touchdown.</strong> It’s just poetic that Allen did it in the stadium where Newton won MVP and called home during most of his career.</p>



<p>That’s how the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> works. <strong>Buffalo ended up winning 40-9 in what was a much needed win to get back on track after a two-game skid</strong>. Not only did it win, but it was a very strong performance against a team that was unbeaten at home and riding a three-game winning streak.</p>



<h2>Allen wasn’t the only one who dominated the Panthers</h2>



<p>Running back James Cook was an absolute nightmare to deal with in this game. <strong>On 19 carries, Cook rushed for 216 yards and two touchdowns</strong>. Cook set the tempo of the game from the start and made the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Panthers</a> shake every time he carried the ball.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/23145639/james-cook-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="James Cook #4 of the Buffalo Bills " class="wp-image-446857" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>James Cook #4 of the Buffalo Bills </figcaption></figure>



<p>James Cook now has 753 rushing yards and seven touchdowns this NFL season, solidifying himself as one of the best backs in the league. <strong>Cook led the league in rushing touchdowns last season </strong>and is on pace to compete for that milestone once again. He is the guy that helps <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-allen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Josh Allen</a> move the chains. </p>

<h2>Buffalo needed a win to stay in the AFC East race</h2>



<p>It was a massive Sunday for the AFC East as a whole since all four teams won and scored 32+ points. However, the Jets just got their first win of the season and the Dolphins are still under .500. <strong>It’s the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patriots</a> and the Bills who are running for the divisional title.</strong></p>



<p>As of now, the Patriots are 6-2 and the Bills 5-2. However, <strong>the Patriots haven’t had their bye week but also possess the tiebreak over the Bills</strong>. Hence, if the Bills want to win their division, they must stay flawless and hope for the Patriots to slip in the upcoming games.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-young" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bryce Young</a></strong> and the <strong>Carolina Panthers</strong> are off to a commendable start this regular season, sitting at 4-3. They are set to face the <strong>Buffalo Bills</strong>, a formidable adversary with a 4-2 record, who are anticipated to pose a significant challenge to the Panthers today.</p>



<p>Young has emerged as a pivotal player on a team striving to improve following a lackluster previous season marred by disappointment.

<p>Conversely, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bills</a></strong> are rallying behind Josh Allen as their linchpin in this critical game, after a two-game losing streak <strong>underscored by underwhelming defensive performances against the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons.</strong></p>



<p>As these dynamics unfold, both <strong>the </strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers"><strong>Panthers</strong></a><strong> and the Bills find themselves in need of a win today to bolster their playoff hopes </strong>in the NFL and chart a course to the Super Bowl this season.</p>

" title="Mike White has simple advice for Panthers’ defense against Bills" publication_id="BUS#/nfl/mike-white-has-simple-advice-for-panthers-defense-against-bills"></div>


<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a></strong> will face the <strong>Buffalo Bills</strong> without <strong>Bryce Young</strong>. Their starting quarterback has an ankle injury, which prompted the team to name <strong>NFL</strong> veteran <strong>Andy Dalton</strong> to start the game. The ‘Red Rifle’ has revealed his approach for this game.</p>



<p><em>“I think we’re comfortable with what we’re doing. I think we’ve experienced a lot so far and <strong>we can build off the momentum of where we’re at right now</strong>,”</em> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-dalton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dalton</a> said. <em>“<strong>At this point I’m just trying to keep this thing going. We’ve just got to keep playing like we can play</strong>.”</em></p>



<p>For Dalton, it’s simple, if the Panthers are winning games, he needs to keep that energy going for the team to compete. Especially against a team like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bills</a>, <strong>Dalton needs to avoid turnovers and be accurate with the football</strong>.</p>



<h2>Panthers should rely on their running backs</h2>



<p><strong>The real strength of the Panthers is their running game.</strong> They have a very talented duo of backs in Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle. As a matter of fact, <strong>Dowdle has 569 scrimmage yards in the last three weeks alone</strong>. Hubbard, is coming back from a calf injury, but now they have an elite committee to harm opponents.  </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/25142030/rico-dowdle-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Rico Dowdle #5 of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-515259" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Rico Dowdle #5 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>The Bills have the 31st-ranked rushing defense in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong>. Hence, Dalton and company should definitely rely on the two backs to not only score points, but to keep Josh Allen off rhythm and on the sidelines for most of the game.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/panthers-stars-named-key-to-beat-josh-allen-bills" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20251025_BUS_515161_rico-dowdle.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="The Panthers will have to establish the run to beat the Bills. 
" title="Panthers stars named key to beat Josh Allen, Bills" publication_id="BUS#/nfl/panthers-stars-named-key-to-beat-josh-allen-bills"></div>


<h2>The Panthers are unbeaten at home</h2>



<p>Carolina has a winning record, which is not something you’ve read a lot in recent years. It is 4-3 but <strong>the Panthers have made sure their home is respected</strong>. <strong>They are 3-0 at Bank of America Stadium.</strong> They’ve beaten Atlanta (30-0), Miami (27-24), and Dallas (30-27).</p>



<p>Now, the Bills are better than all those teams. Still, if you’re the Panthers, you are not only motivated by that, but also by <strong>the three-game winning streak they’re rolling with right now. </strong></p>

<p>Coming off a bye week is one of the trickiest spots in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong>. You have time to rest, prepare, and train better. However, this also puts a lot of pressure on delivering. That’s the scenario that <strong>Josh Allen</strong> and the <strong>Buffalo Bills</strong> are facing ahead of their game against the <strong>Carolina Panthers</strong>.</p>



<p>Well, for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bills</a>, coming off a bye is basically winning a game. <strong>Sean McDermott is 8-0 off a bye as the Bills head coach</strong>. No other coach has a better record off a bye than McDermott. </p>



<p>Also, the Bills are a much better team than the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Panthers</a> and that is backed up by the Vegas line too. <strong>Buffalo is a 7.5-point favorite against Carolina despite playing away from home.</strong></p>



<h2>It’s Red Rifle time</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-young" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bryce Young</a> is nursing an ankle injury and didn’t practice all week. With that,<strong> the Panthers have opted to start NFL veteran Andy Dalton</strong>. The Red Rifle stepped in last week after Young’s injury and he completed four passes in seven attempts for 60 yards.

Josh Allen's Bills should be confident for their game vs Panthers for one key reason - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers </a>are in the middle of a three-game winning streak after edging out the New York Jets, 13-6, in Week 7 of the 2025<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL</a> season. The Panthers <strong>rank second in the NFC South</strong> division and are aiming to go higher.</p>



<p>Week 8 will present a big challenge for the<strong> Buffalo Bills.</strong> Josh Allen and Co. will return to action on Sunday after entering their bye week on a two-game losing streak.</p>



<p>Bryce Young (ankle) is listed as doubtful for this duel and <strong>Andy Dalton </strong>is expected to start. However, he is not considered a key piece to unlock the matchup. The third-year quarterback is playing at a solid level, throwing for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.</p>



<h2>Panthers’ RBs expected to take over against the Bills</h2>



<p>Steve Reed of the Associated Press wrote on Friday that the Panthers will need to rely on their star duo of<strong> Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard </strong>to move past the Bills.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/27190707/Dave-Canales-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Dave Canales" class="wp-image-236167" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales </figcaption></figure>



<p><em><strong>“Panthers RBs Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard vs. Bills front seven.</strong> If the Panthers are going to have a chance against the Bills, they’ll need to control the time of possession and keep Josh Allen off the field. That means effectively running the football — something they have done extremely well of late. The Panthers have run for 580 yards over the past three games. They will again employ a two-back approach against the Bills. Last week Dowdle gained 79 yards rushing on 17 carries, while Hubbard had 14 carries for 31 yards. The vulnerable Bills defense comes into the game ranked 31st against the run, allowing 156.3 yards per game on the ground,”</em> he said.</p>



<p>Dowdle and Chubbard have become a terrific tandem, but the challenge will get more difficult in Week 8. The Bills need to bounce back, <strong>and the Panthers are eager to extend their good moment.&nbsp;</strong></p>


Panthers stars named key to beat Josh Allen, Bills - Bolavip US

<p>The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers"> Carolina Panthers</a> are set to extend their good moment with a win against one of the best teams in the AFC, the <strong>Buffalo Bills.</strong> After dropping to 1-3 following a 42-13 loss to the New England Patriots, the Panthers have won three straight games.</p>



<p>The Bills are in the middle of a two-game losing streak, hoping to restart the season with a win against the Panthers. Carolina has become the biggest threat to the<strong> Tampa Bay Buccaneers </strong>in the NFC South division, but they are about to enter a difficult stretch.</p>



<p><strong>Josh Allen</strong> and Co. are eager to bounce back and improve to 5-2, but the Panthers are inspired. Third-year quarterback Bryce Young didn’t participate in any of this week’s practice sessions and was listed as doubtful for this game.</p>



<h2>Mike White offers simple solution to stop the Bills</h2>



<p>Young’s status doesn’t seem promising for the Panthers, but former Bills quarterback Mike White has a simple solution to stop Buffalo: <strong>stop Allen</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/08123024/Josh-Allen-smiling-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills" class="wp-image-488030" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“Stop Josh Allen,”</em></strong> White said with a smile. “<em>That’s really what it comes down to, right? He’s so talented at extending plays and all that good stuff. And he’s so smart at the line of scrimmage, which I don’t think he gets enough credit for. … Unless you’re truly in the day-to-day with him, and you see how he operates and works, you can’t have enough appreciation for it. My time has been so consumed with trying to pick up this playbook, so I’m just trying to focus on that part of it</em>.”</p>



<p>It is so much easier to say it than to do it. Allen is<strong> one of the best players in the league and the reigning MVP</strong>. The Bills have failed to find a true WR1 option, but Allen remains a big threat to opponents.</p>



<p>The Patriots succeeded in stopping him, and the Panthers could see what Mike Vrabel did <strong>to limit the quarterback.&nbsp;</strong></p>


Mike White has simple advice for Panthers' defense against Bills

Mike White has simple advice for Panthers' defense against Bills - Bolavip US

<p>Buffalo Bills linebacker <strong>Shaq Thompson </strong>will play a special game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> in Week 8 of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The Bills will return to action on Sunday against the NFC South team in the middle of a two-game losing streak. The Panthers are 4-3 after beating the New York Jets in Week 7, and they hope to continue their good moment against Buffalo.</p>



<p><strong>Sean McDermott</strong> is high on Thompson, who joined the Bills in the offseason. The head coach described the 31-year-old linebacker with one word: winner.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong><em>“Winner. He’s here for a reason,”</em></strong> said McDermott. <em>“When we drafted him back years ago, you could tell right away the impact he made in our locker room, on our team, what type of person he was.”</em> Thompson appears to have <strong>extra motivation</strong> for this game.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Shaq Thompson says he’s playing where he’s wanted&nbsp;</h2>



<p>After suffering back-to-back season-ending injuries, Thompson left the Panthers in free agency to sign with the Bills. He will return to his old stadium after spending 10 years in Carolina. <strong>Thompson has strong feelings about this meeting, but not for the best reasons.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/27190707/Dave-Canales-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Dave Canales" class="wp-image-236167" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales during the first half against the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL, American Football Herren, USA matchup in Charlotte, NC.</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“I’m at where I’m supposed to be at. I’m playing for the team that wanted me,” </em></strong>Thompson said.&nbsp;The Bills are taking the most advantage of having a player like Thompson. </p>



<p>He has played 44% of possible defensive snaps in five games, <strong>and McDermott has used him as an option in three-linebacker sets.</strong> Buffalo needs a win after two big losses. <strong>The Panthers are on a roll</strong>, but Thompson’s motivation could make a difference.&nbsp;</p>


Bills LB takes shot at Panthers ahead of clash with former team - Bolavip US

<p>The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Carolina Panthers</a> extended their good moment in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season with a close 13-6 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. After a tumultuous start to the campaign, <strong>Bryce Young </strong>and Co. have righted the ship, sitting at 4-3 after the Jets game.</p>



<p>Besides the third-year quarterback finding his rhythm and confidence within the offense, the Panthers have taken advantage of <strong>Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard, </strong>two talented running backs causing a lot of damage to opposing defenses.</p>



<p>Dowdle carried the ball 17 times for 79 yards, while catching one pass for 17 yards. Hubbard rushed the ball 14 times for 31 yards and added two receptions for 24 yards. Having two running backs who can deliver at a high rate is great for the Panthers, but people are wondering <strong>who will get the most touches moving forward</strong></p>



<h2>Dave Canales gets honest on Rico Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard’s usage</h2>



<p>Speaking with reporters after the game, <strong>Dave Canales</strong> explained how he plans to use Dowdle and Hubbard moving forward.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/04133112/chubba-the-chubby-hubbard-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Chuba Hubbard #30 of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-485287" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Chuba Hubbard #30 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



<p><em>“<strong>It felt great for me to know, whoever I was calling the run for, I expect great execution out of these guy</strong>s and, you know, Chubba even had a couple of excellent runs, you know, on the perimeter, you know, with screens,</em>” the coach said.</p>



<p>The Panthers have become <strong>one of the biggest surprises of the season. </strong>This could be a good problem to have if Canales and Co. know how to use their running back tandem. Hubbard entered the season as the RB1, but Dowdle has earned his chances thanks to his performances.&nbsp;</p>

Dave Canales gets honest on having two solid options at RB - Bolavip US

<p>While the <strong>Carolina Panthers</strong> hold the lead over the <strong>New York Jets</strong> at MetLife Stadium, bad news struck <strong>Dave Canales</strong>’ team as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-young">Bryce Young</a></strong> was seen limping off the field and heading straight to the locker room.</p>



<p><strong>Stepping in for Young was none other than the experienced Andy Dalton</strong>, listed as the top backup on the depth chart. The veteran brings valuable experience to the team at a crucial moment in both the game and the season.</p>



<p>The former Bengals and Bears quarterback, among other teams, joined the franchise in 2023 after a stint with the New Orleans Saints. With Young’s injury, the door opens for Dalton to take charge and provide the team with his veteran leadership.</p>



<p>Now with severity of the starting quarterback’s injury already confirmed, this represents a major headache for Dave Canales and his coaching staff, who had seemingly begun to find their stride this season after picking up a few key wins.</p>

<h2>What happened to Bryce Young?</h2>



<p><strong>The Carolina Panthers have officially ruled out QB Bryce Young</strong> for the remainder of the game against the New York Jets due to the ankle injury sustained in the third quarter. </p>

<p>The QB left the field with a noticeable limp after a sack and was initially listed as questionable, but the team’s decision to sideline him confirms the seriousness of the issue for today. Veteran Andy Dalton will finish the contest under center, and the Panthers now face an anxious wait for a full diagnosis on their young star’s health.</p>



<p><strong><em>“Bryce Young has now been ruled out. Carolina faces Buffalo next week,”</em></strong> the insider Tom Pelissero reported via his X official account <em>@TomPelissero.</em> Now, all the trust shifts to what Dalton can bring to the team in the short term.</p>



<h2>Dalton’s experience</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-dalton">Andy Dalton</a>’s immediate importance to the Panthers cannot be overstated following Bryce Young’s injury. The veteran is not merely a backup, but a proven, 12-year starter whose command of the huddle and pre-snap adjustments will be vital. </p>



<p>His extensive <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> experience provides the Panthers with a steadying presence under center, which is the most critical element required to maintain offensive rhythm and confidence as they navigate this uncertain stretch without their young franchise quarterback.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a></strong> are hosting the <strong>Carolina Panthers</strong> and things didn’t look good in the first half. Desperate to get their first win of the season, the home team benched <strong>Justin Fields</strong> in favor of Tyrod Taylor, but why did they do it?</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fields</a> suffered a big blow earlier in the game but the reason for his benching was not that, it’s because of his bad form. <strong>Taylor will try to get the offense a bit more tempo in hopes of scoring points</strong>. Fields wasn’t able to do so.</p>



<p>The Jets recorded just three points with Fields under center. The quarterback himself had a bad outing. <strong>He completed 6/12 passes for 46 yards. He added 22 rushing yards. </strong></p>



<h2>Tyrod Taylor brings some sort of new hope</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor</a> is more of a pocket passer compared to Fields. An argument can be made for him being more accurate but <strong>his big edge over Fields is actually how he can read defenses</strong>. That itself should help the Jets move the ball better.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/03134512/Tyrod-Taylor-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets" class="wp-image-347725" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets</figcaption></figure>



<p>Taylor is still a below-par QB in the league. Still, <strong>it seems like the Fields experiment might be in its final hours</strong>. Whether Taylor remains as QB1 next week or not remains to be seen, but head coach Aaron Glenn seems ready to open the book and see other options.</p>

<p>That’s because Ian Rapoport of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network reported that <strong>it is doubtful that wide receiver Garrett Wilson will play the game vs. Panthers</strong> after missing practices due to a knee injury.</p>



<p><strong>The Panthers are 3-0 at home but 0-3 away from home</strong>. However, what better way to get over that awful away span than beating the only winless team in the NFL that’s also without its best weapon? It’s a golden opportunity for the Panthers.</p>



<h2>Garrett Wilson will be sorely missed</h2>



<p><strong>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jets</a> are not precisely stacked with talent but Wilson is an absolute stud</strong>. He has three full years in the NFL and has reached 1,000 yards in each season. Not only that, but he has 395 yards already. Not only that, he has four touchdowns. He is by far <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a>‘ best weapon.</p>

<p>The next-best receiver on the Jets is rookie tight end Mason Taylor with 177, <strong>which is less than half Wilson’s yards</strong>. It’s just a key piece on this offense and not counting with him will get this unit a huge downgrade.</p>

<h2>The Panthers are a frisky team</h2>



<p>Last three weeks, <strong>the Panthers have been able to run the football and stop the run</strong>. That usually translate to wins. The Jets are dreadful in pressuring the opposing quarterback in the last couple of weeks and that could also play in Carolina’s favor.</p>



<p><strong>If <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-young" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bryce Young</a> has time and the run game is going well, the offense gets a whole new version </strong>that is capable of putting offensive clinics against bad defenses. All in all, the Panthers should be confident to win this game.</p>
