The victory over the Jets saw the Panthers (minus Bryce Young) routed at home by the Bills. That was followed by a thrilling win over the Packers at Lambeau Field. Canales’s club returned home, only to lay an egg against the Saints.

This is embarrassing for the league office. The NFL admitted their replay review official made a mistake in Kellen Moore's first successful challenge.
