And it’s just as well that they don’t play next Sunday, because there’s enough to talk about in this one for weeks, after getting a huge win in a driving rain at Bank of America Stadium.
For starters, Young had one of the kind of rebound games we’ve seen from him at times this year.
The Panthers quarterback finished 15-of-20 for 206 yards and three touchdowns.
He also showed the nerve of a cat burglar, with a pair of fourth-down touchdowns to Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan for 33- and 43-yards, respectively.
He also pulled off his 11th game-winning drive, the most by any quarterback since 2023.
And those opportunities were there because they ran the ball the way they wanted.
After getting just nine carries from their backs Monday at San Francisco, Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle combined for 35 on Sunday.
Hubbard finished with 83 yards and a 35-yard touchdown reception. Dowdle added 58 rushing yards, as they established their preferred mode of offense.
