Panthers take 13-6 lead with Bryce Young's 32-yard TD pass

Carolina’s offense struck early as Bryce Young continued his hot start, throwing a 32-yard touchdown pass to Tetairoa McMillan to give the Panthers a 13-6 lead over Detroit. The extra point attempt by Ryan Fitzgerald narrowly missed wide, but the touchdown still extended Carolina’s advantage.

Young began the game with an 11-of-11 completion streak before a misstep ended it—his longest streak to start a career game. He later converted a fourth-down pass to John Metchie, setting up the scoring drive.

Through the first quarter, Young has been sharp, completing 12 of 13 passes for 141 yards and the touchdown.

The Panthers’ momentum shifted quickly after the touchdown, as Young’s precision under pressure kept Detroit’s defense off balance. His ability to extend plays and find open receivers early has been a key factor in Carolina’s strong offensive output so far this season.
