Boy, the preseason is fun!
The Panthers finally trotted out (mostly) a first team offense and defense on Friday night, while the Bills played their second teams against them. The Panthers offense started out with a whimper, as Baker Mayfield attempted 3 passes while only completing 1 to Tommy Tremble for 8 yards. The first team defense proceeded to stifle the Bills by not allowing any yards, forcing a punt. That’s when the Panthers offense finally seemed to get into some sort of gear, with Stephen Sullivan catching a beautiful throw from Mayfield for 21 yards down the boundary and Shi Smith catching a pass short of the sticks and pushing his way for a first down on 3rd and 12.
