Week 6 brought us another double-digit defeat for the Carolina Panthers . But at least it also gave us another encouraging display from one particular position group.
Here are the team's best and worst Pro Football Focus grades from their 38-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons :
1. LG Damien Lewis : 80.42. RG Robert Hunt: 77.93. C Brady Christensen : 76.04. WR David Moore : 74.85. RT Yosh Nijman : 68.0
The hog mollies put their hard hats on again, allowing just six pressures and zero sacks of quarterback Andy Dalton . They also paved the way for running back Chuba Hubbard , who rushed for 92 yards on 18 carries.
If you extend this list to the top six offensive grades for Carolina in Week 6, left tackle Ikem Ekwonu would join the group with an overall mark of 67.9.
12. QB Andy Dalton: 59.213. RB Chuba Hubbard: 58.514. WR Jonathan Mingo : 54.615. TE Ja'Tavion Sanders: 51.616. TE Ian Thomas : 49.9
Dalton had a pair of ill-timed interceptions , with the first coming from the Atlanta 32-yard line while down by just eight points.
Sanders and Thomas were credited with a drop apiece.
1. OLB Charles Harris : 78.02. CB Jaycee Horn : 72.33. DE T.J. Smith: 71.04. CB Troy Hill : 68.15. ILB Claudin Cherelus : 63.3
Harris recorded a team-high three pressures.
Horn allowed just the 3-yard touchdown reception to wideout Drake London over four targets on the day. He also broke up a pair of pass attempts.
15. DT LaBryan Ray : 37.916. OLB Tarron Jackson : 33.017. DT Nick Thurman : 30.218. CB Chau Smith-Wade : 27.919. ILB Chandler Wooten : 27.8
