Bryce Young

Bryce Young completed 16-of-26 passes for 171 yards, one touchdown and an interception in the Panthers’ 23-22, Week 9 win over the Saints.

Young also took only one sack for five yards. It was just the fourth time in his career he took one-or-zero sacks. His 6.6 yards per attempt were his fifth best. That, of course, speaks to just how bad the young quarterback has been, but he looked far better via the eye test than usual. That includes even on his interception, which in reality was a beautiful deep completion to Xavier Legette the rookie wideout let get ripped out of his hands. We don’t want to overdo it when it comes to a 16-completion outing, but Young avoided mistakes and actually kept the chains moving in this one. It was probably enough for the Panthers to give him another look in their Week 10 German road trip to face the Giants. He will be nowhere close to streamer relevance for that one against a strong pass rush.
