A handful of Carolina Panthers players who showed out in Buffalo.
Before Dillon Johnson rumbled into the end zone as the buzzer sounded in the Carolina Panthers' loss to the Jets last weekend, the last touchdown scored by the franchise came on Christmas Eve of 2023. Johnson's touchdown seemingly opened the flood gates for the Panthers' offense, as they. It was an impressive operation on all fronts as Carolina sealed their first victory of 2024 in their last exhibition matchup before the real deal kicks off in New Orleans.
His backup on Saturday, Jack Plummer, also played a whale of a game. The rookie quarterback has been much maligned this preseason for his inability to find playmakers downfield. Plummer struggled mightly in the first two preseason games, but his game on Saturday may have locked down a spot on the Panthers' practice squad.
He finished with a stat line of 21/29 for 278 yards, firing touchdowns to Jalen Coker and Terrace Marshall Jr. while only being sacked once all afternoon. Plummer showed poise, accuracy, and a willingness to attack the second and third levels of the defense that has eluded him all preseason. Good on him for recognizing his last chance to put out tape of his skills and seizing it.
Ian Thomas has been MIA all training camp due to an injury, and Matthews' impressive preseason may end up with him usurping Thomas for the third tight end spot come Tuesday. He showed this summer that he is a well-rounded tight end. He's flashed impressive hands, size, strength, blocking prowess, and maybe most importantly, Matthews is a leader in the locker room that is desperate for it following last year's debacle.
