Carolina Panthers vs. Washington Commanders: Box score, stats and summary feat. Brian Robinson Jr

The Washington Commanders and the Carolina Panthers met in Week 7 of the NFL season, and the story couldn't be more different for these two teams. Although both of them have used a top-2 pick in a quarterback in recent seasons, results have been vastly different.

The Commanders have been more than prepared to withstand bigger challengers. They proved their value against a strong Baltimore Ravens team in Week 6. However, it's also important to dominate weaker teams, and that's exactly what they did against the Panthers.

Quarterback Jayden Daniels left the game early with a rib injury. In his place, Marcus Mariota kept the ball rolling and the score was 27-0 at halftime. Andy Dalton threw two interceptions in the first half alone, and even Bryce Young got some game time.

Panthers vs. Commanders game summary

From start to finish, it was clear who had the better team in the game. Washington has been riding high since they drafted Jayden Daniels, while Carolina have been massively struggling since the start of the 2023 season.

But this game started worse than expected. That's because Daniels had to leave the game early with a rib injury. A good sign happened after halftime when he returned to the sideline and interacted with a few fans, but his day ended after just two passes.

That wasn't a problem anyway. Marcus Mariota had one of the best games of his career, with 18 completed passes out of 23 attempts for 205 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. After failed stints with the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles, Mariota proved himself with the Commanders.

With a 27-0 score at halftime and with Andy Dalton struggling badly, there was never any way for Carolina to return to this game. The final score of 40-7 shows how much the Commanders dominated the contest and maintained the NFC East lead with a 5-2 record, but still just half a game ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles.
