Dalton enjoyed a sensational return to life as a starter when he replaced Young in September and lit up the Las Vegas Raiders for three touchdowns and 319 yards. He's not been as sharp since then, throwing four touchdowns and six interceptions across his next four contests, all of which have resulted in losses for Carolina.

The Commanders were, remarkably enough, led by backup quarterback Marcus Mariota—who replaced an injured Daniels in the first quarter. Mariota connected on 18 of his 23 throws for 205 yards and two touchdowns. Washington also did work on the ground, running for 214 yards and a score on 37 carries.
