The Carolina Panthers jumped out to an early 14-point lead, but in the end, Mike McDaniel’s team proved too strong for the rebuilding Panthers.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 21 of 31 passes for 262 yards and three touchdowns as he found Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle for touchdowns. Raheem Mostert continued his impressive 2023 campaign, carrying the ball 17 times for 115 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught a touchdown pass, bringing his season total to 10 touchdowns. But most impressive of all was how well Miami's offensive line held up -- specifically Liam Eichenberg -- in Miami's 21-point win.

Defensively, there's still a lot to be desired. But several of Miami's playmakers stepped up. Christian Wilkins recorded two sacks, and Bradley Chubb was all over rookie quarterback Bryce Young. It wasn't a perfect showing, but Miami's defense continues to get better and have to if they want to hang with the Philadelphia Eagles' explosive offense.
