4 key observations from Carolina Panthers preseason win at ... (Cat Crave)

What were the key observations from the Carolina Panthers 23-21 victory over the Washington Commanders in their first preseason outing?

Baker Mayfield made his much-anticipated start at quarterback for the opening possession before Sam Darnold took over for the next two drives. However, rookie quarterback Matt Corral led the offense down the field to set up the winning kick. Gonzalez, who the Panthers acquired in September of last season, was in midseason form already, hitting all five attempts, including two field goals from 40-plus yards.

"We were just all over the place out there, and that's on me." "That was just for today," he said. The drive bogged down on his fumbled snap, but overall he was in command of the offense against Washington's first-team defense. Darnold took over at the Washington 19-yard line on his first series after the defense recovered a fumble. Darnold put great touch on the touchdown in an area he struggled last season. Mayfield went 4-for-7 for 46 yards in his only drive that ended with a 41-yard field goal.

Hometown Heroes: Normangee Panthers (KBTX)

The Normangee Panthers will look a little different on offense this season under new head football coach Danny Mitchell. He likes the spread offense.

“We’re going to have to play very much as a team. “I’m a run heavy guy even though that we are in the spread. We don’t spread it out to throw it around we spread it out to run the ball so we’re going to run the ball as much as we can and throw it when we have to and hopefully it works out from there, added Mitchell.
