WATCH: Andy Dalton, DJ Chark silence Seahawks fans with 47-yard TD

How’s this for an explosive play?

Coming into Week 3, the Carolina Panthers were one of just two teams—along with the Las Vegas Raiders—not to record a passing play of at least 25 yards. Well, now there’s just one.

Quarterback Andy Dalton, starting in place of an injured Bryce Young, found wide receiver DJ Chark for a 47-yard touchdown in the team’s matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The score, which was also the first end-zone visit of the afternoon for either team, helped give Carolina a 10-9 lead at the 4:54 mark of the second quarter.

That catch and run capped off an eight-play, 75-yard drive for what has been a struggling offense. Prior to the possession, the Panthers recorded all of 61 total yards over their first three touches.

Dalton, to that point, completed 11 of his 16 passing attempts for 130 yards and the touchdown—which was Chark’s first since Week 14 of the 2022 campaign.
