Even Coach Ron Rivera’s usual even-keeled ‘we liked’ comments should underscore how pleased everyone from new owner David Tepper down should be with the Carolina Panthers first pre-season game against the Buffalo Bills. The 28-23 final score was a solid team effort resulting from necessary individuals doing their jobs well. Greg Van Roten and Brendan Mahon’s work on the offensive line, Shaq Thompson making a carbon copy of several training camp INTs, and two specific catches by DJ Moore: a slippery 16-yard run after catch (plus a face mask penalty) and going up/boxing out for a 32-yard reception of a Taylor Heinicke heave— put a smile on every Panther fans face.
Offensive line, Moore, QBs ring bells in 28-23 win over Buffalo
