Earlier this week, Kurt Warner joined Pat McAfee and made waves when he called Andy Dalton "better than half of the quarterbacks in the league today. In week four, Dalton proved him 100% correct. He made throws all over the field, getting six different Panthers involved in the passing game.

Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase had an impressive 63-yard catch and run for a touchdown during the second quarter. Running back Zack Moss found a way to get into the end zone with one second remaining in the first half. And rookie defensive back Daijahn Anthony broke up a fake-punt try by the Panthers' Johnny Hekker.

After winning a week ago, the Panthers made a game of it Sunday vs. the Bengals, which is a significant step in the right direction.
