Sam Darnold’s MVP run continues, Ravens save season with win in Dallas
Sports Seriously’s Mackenzie Salmon ‘overreacts’ to the biggest news from Sunday’s slate of games.
Sports Seriously
It hasn’t been the ideal start to the 2024 season for the Cincinnati Bengals (0-3) and Carolina Panthers (1-2), but they’ll try to flip the script when they meet in Week 4.
Maybe Cam Taylor-Britt regrets saying the Washington Commanders have a “college offense” after Jayden Daniels torched them on “Monday Night Football.” Now in a deep 0-3 hole, Cincinnati is in panic mode trying to salvage its season.
Turning to Andy Dalton may have given the Panthers exactly what it needed. The quarterback veteran ignited the Carolina offense for a dominant win over a Las Vegas Raiders team that just took down Lamar Jackson. Could Carolina suddenly have hope for at least a decent season?

Lorenzo Reyes: Bengals 23, Panthers 21
Cincinnati is in trouble. The Bengals had absolutely no answer for Jayden Daniels, and their defense is suddenly a very big concern. This is a game the 0-3 Bengals should win, especially given the team’s improving health and offensive breakout. Still, I’m going to hedge this with a Panthers cover; the Bengals are simply too erratic right now to trust.
Tyler Dragon: Bengals 28, Panthers 20
The Bengals are 0-3 for the first time since 2019. Surely the Bengals can’t drop to 0-4, right? Sunday is a must-win game for Cincinnati with the Ravens looming in Week 5. However, the Panthers are coming off a surprising win, and this is a revenge game for Andy Dalton, who played his first nine seasons in Cincinnati.
Richard Morin: Bengals 23, Panthers 14
Cincinnati can’t start 0-4, can they?
Jordan Mendoza: Bengals 25, Panthers 23
It’s tough to trust the Bengals after three weeks, but on paper, they should defeat this Panthers squad. Andy Dalton has given the team a spark but they fall just short in a game that’s a lot closer than it should be.
