Bryce Young rebounded strongly after last week’s struggles, showcasing his versatility with 68 rushing yards and three touchdowns. His 23-yard rushing score and clutch fourth-quarter pass to David Moore kept Carolina competitive. Young completed 17-of-26 passes for 158 yards, demonstrating improved poise and decision-making.
Defensively, rookie safety Demani Richardson’s fourth-quarter interception and linebacker Josey Jewell’s key overtime sack highlighted a gritty effort. The Cardinals mounted a comeback behind running back James Conner’s 166 yards, but he exited in the third quarter.
The Panthers now prepare for a Week 17 road matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
