Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 8 loss to Bills

[TheSpecialJuan]

Best of the offense

1. WR Tetairoa McMillan: 85.9

2. LG Damien Lewis: 83.3

3. RG Jake Curhan: 82.1

4. LT Ikem Ekwonu: 81.1

5. C Austin Corbett: 76.1

Worst of the offense

13. RT Taylor Moton: 57.4

14. WR Xavier Legette: 57.4

15. TE Tommy Tremble: 53.3

16. QB Andy Dalton: 42.6

17. RT Yosh Nijman: 42.5

Nijman also filled in after Moton left with a knee injury. He allowed a team-high five pressures and was given a team-low 22.9 pass-blocking grade.

Dalton completed 16 of his 24 throws for 175 yards and an interception. He lost a pair of fumbles as well.

Best of the defense

1. DL Derrick Brown: 70.2

2. S Lathan Ransom: 69.8

3. CB Mike Jackson: 69.4

4. ILB Claudin Cherelus: 66.9

5. ILB Christian Rozeboom: 60.4

Carolina allowed 216 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Bills running back James Cook, so there wasn't much run defense to speak of. But Brown finished with a team-best 71.2 grade in that department.

Rozeboom cleaned up with a game-high 12 tackles.

Worst of the defense

14. S Nick Scott: 45.1

15. DL Tershawn Wharton: 43.7

16. DL LaBryan Ray: 42.1

17. CB Jaycee Horn: 41.7

18. OLB Princely Umanmielen: 28.3

Horn's 41.7 mark is the lowest of his season.

Umanmielen's 28.3 mark is the second-lowest for a Panthers defender in 2025.

Pretty much what I saw as well.

Also checks out.

If this had been a close game, well coached and executed, I would have been content that we were showing progress in a loss to the Bills, but…

I got nothin’…

[Joe Bear]

Only player deserving of a good grade was T-Mac after that fiasco. And, if punters count, Sam Martin for flipping the field some. No one on the OL deserved a lot of praise, even considering I charged 5 of the 7 sacks to Dalton yesterday. Surprised a few defensive guys didn't get 0.0 grades.

[Panthera onca]

Nick Scott once again at the bottom of the barrel. For the life of me I can’t understand what Evero sees in that JAG.

He’s lost a step this year. He will probably play another year or two on his contract, but need to be thinking about drafting and developing his replacement soon.

[Aussie Tank]

When are the outs in Wharton's contract 

[Camp Fodder]

Besides Dalton the worst thing was the run D considering how well they played all year minus game 1
