Andy Dalton did just that this past week against the Buffalo Bills. We learned yesterday that Dalton suffered a broken thumb on his second series for the Carolina Panthers - but he didn't immediately inform the coaching staff.

Andy Dalton had a broken thumb that he hid against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8, and now it's super swollen.

Bryce Young was spotted walking off to the locker room slowly during the third quarter of Sunday's contest at MetLife Stadium.

The Bills, behind 38 rushing yards from running back James Cook, chugged downfield on the first touch—reaching the Panthers' 23-yard line. But linebacker Trevin Wallace sacked quarterback Josh Allen on a third-and-10 to keep Buffalo to a 45-yard field goal. Bills lead 3-0 with 7:14 left in the first quarter.

The Panthers improved to 4-3 on the season after beating the Jets 13-6, achieving their first over .500 record in nearly four years.

James Cook is the entire Bills offense. Thanks to tremendous blocking up front, he just burst through a massive hole, got to the second level and there was no one there as he scampered 64 yards for a touchdown. However, Matt Prater missed the extra point, piling on to a litany of other mistakes the Bills have made in a game they now lead by nine.
