Andy Dalton made a strong impact in his first start for the Carolina Panthers in the 2024 NFL season, becoming the first quarterback to achieve 300 yards and three touchdowns in the game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

This performance not only demonstrated Dalton's skill but also marked the first victory for new coach Dave Canales. At 36, Dalton's experience and durability have proven invaluable as he replaced struggling rookie Bryce Young as the starting quarterback.
