Panthers take quick lead on Washington

ZPtfAlZA5owS
Despite Washington notching a victory against Detroit in Week 12, Chris Simms and Mike Florio explain why they believe the Panthers are going to dominate the Redskins.

The Washington defense doesn’t appear interested in building on the momentum of a one-game winning streak.

The Panthers marched straight down the field for a 7-0 lead, with an easy eight-play, 60-yard touchdown drive.

Kyle Allen hit Curtis Samuel for the touchdown, and it could be the first of many if things don’t change.

The Washington defense missed several tackles, and a bad unnecessary roughness penalty by Da’Ron Payne didn’t help matters.

The Panthers put the ball in Christian McCaffrey’s hands on five of the eight plays, a simple formula which has proven to work.
