Dave Canales: I've never seen a LB play better than Devin Lloyd on Sunday
There was a lot for Panthers head coach Dave Canales to like about the way his team played in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Falcons and linebacker Devin Lloyd's performance was at the top of the list.
Panthers head coach Dave Canales was impressed with his team's performance in their 34-3 victory over the Falcons on Sunday, and linebacker Devin Lloyd's play was the standout highlight. Lloyd, who was a significant offseason addition for Carolina, had previously struggled against the Bears in a Week 1 loss. However, he had an outstanding outing this week that earned high praise from Canales.
Lloyd recorded two interceptions, including a third-quarter pick that he returned for a touchdown, nine tackles, and a sack. Canales stated that he had never witnessed a better performance from a linebacker during his 17-year NFL coaching career. The Panthers' defense, which had previously suffered a poor start, needed to rebound from their opening debacle, and Lloyd's stellar performance on Sunday was a significant step in the right direction.
