Panthers fall on the road to the Bills
2 min read
One play later, after the 8-yard loss, Phillips went after Allen again, this time pushing him far out of the pocket, hand-fighting with the big quarterback the whole way. After Allen threw the ball away, the two former AFC East foes shared a big laugh and even bigger hug.
Panthers starting defenders were on the field to start the second drive but were pulled midway through. The second-team took over, getting baptized by fire against the MVP passer. Trevis Gipson had a would-be sack, but a facemask negated the play. Rookie Will Lee III got a first-hand lesson on what it’s like to defend an Allen-to-D.J. Moore throw, and then Allen found Keon Coleman for a 9-yard touchdown.
After that, the Bills offensive starters were officially done for the day as well.
Gipson spent a lot of time in the backfield on Saturday. While the sack against Allen was negated, he did register one against Kyle Allen.
Linebacker Devin Lloyd also made his debut in a Panthers uniform, showing off his nose for the ball with three tackles, including one for loss, in the limited snaps. Trevin Wallace and Claudin Cherelus rotated next to Lloyd while starters were on the field, then played together once Lloyd finished his day.
