On Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 The Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton was all the difference that the Panthers needed to defeat the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday at Allegiant Stadium and it wasn’t even close at least in the early minutes of the fourth quarter with a 33-7 lead.

#2 The Panthers came in 0-2 and Dalton was the shot in the arm that Carolina was looking for throwing for 319 yards, three touchdowns, and completing all his passing except for one.

#3 Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew was 18-28 for 214 yards. The Raiders entered Sunday’s game last in the running game with the Raiders averaging just 49 yards and a total of 55 yards.

#4 The Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy was getting booed because the Raiders struggled in the first three quarters of the game. What might make Getsy look bad is Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields as the Steelers are 3-0. Getsy was Fields offensive coordinator when they were on the Chicago Bears.

#5 The Raiders will kick off against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. The Browns just got by the New York Giants for a win last Sunday. What are some of the things that you would expect from Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson?
