Bryce Young is beginning to demonstrate clutch performance for the Carolina Panthers, who are struggling to win close games. Young led a 60-yard drive culminating in a touchdown pass to Adam Thielen, giving the Panthers a late lead against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, a fumble in overtime by Chuba Hubbard cost them a chance to win.

Despite Young's recent improvements, the Panthers' red zone efficiency has been poor, and their run defense remains a significant issue. Injuries to key players have further complicated their season as they face a tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles next.
