Bryce Young is on a trajectory that bypassed Josh Allen & Joe Flacco

Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers defeated the scorching hot Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, 31-28 at home. The win improves the Panthers' record to 7-6 on the season. It marks the team's best record through Week 13 since 2017, when they were 8-4 at this point.

With a 43-yard touchdown pass to Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan with 6:34 left in the fourth quarter, Bryce Young recorded his 11th game-winning drive—the most in the NFL since 2023. Young, who is 24 years old (128 days), surpassed Bills QB Josh Allen, who is 24 years old (168 days), as the youngest quarterback in NFL history to have 11 game-winning drives.

Young completed 8 of 10 pass attempts for 162 yards and 3 touchdowns on third and fourth down, becoming only the second quarterback (Joe Flacco, Week 6), since 2016, with multiple fourth down touchdown passes over 10 air yards in a single game.

The young Panthers QB has started to turn the corner after naysayers have criticized his size, arm strength, and decision-making since he entered the NFL as the Panthers' first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Panthers are developing chemistry, playing team ball, and having a blast while doing it. Currently, the Panthers and the division-leading Buccaneers have seven wins apiece. The division rivals will face off twice in the last five weeks of the season to solidify playoff seeding.
