After leaving quite a bit to be desired in their regular-season opener a week ago, the Carolina Panthers came ready to bounce back in Atlanta on Sunday. And as a whole, the team passed the test with flying colors—dominating the host Falcons in Week 2 to claim a 34-3 victory.

But which players stood out from the rest of the class this weekend?

Here are the best and worst Pro Football Focus grades from Carolina's big win . . .

Players listed recorded at least 10 offensive or 10 defensive snaps.

Although he had a few chunky rushes called back on penalties, Hubbard finished with a solid 53 yards on 12 carries. He also accounted for the first end-zone visit of the game on a 3-yard connection with Young, whose other two touchdown passes found the hands of Waller.

McMillan notched a game-high 101 receiving yards on five catches. Coker chipped in with 66 yards on eight grabs.

Hunt was charged with three penalties and three pressures. His 44.8 pass-blocking grade was the second-lowest on offense.

Walker allowed a team-high six pressures, including a sack.

Wheatley peanut-punched a fumble away on the very first play from scrimmage. He received a 91.5 coverage grade, the second-highest on the unit.

The highest coverage grade (92.1) went to Lloyd, who chalked up a pair of interceptions and a return for a touchdown. He also tied with Okereke for a team-leading nine tackles, notched a sack and picked up five stops.

Hunter was given a team-worst 29.6 run defense grade.
