Bryce Young’s performance fell short as the Carolina Panthers suffered a grim defeat to the underdog Chicago Bears. Even though the Bears were holding a lackluster 2-7 record and were relying on backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, the stage was set for the Panthers to turn their fortunes. However, things didn’t go as planned, as the expected victory eluded them.

Young, the first pick of the 2023 NFL draft who has made errors in the past, struggled to ignite the Panthers’ offense. He secured no touchdowns throughout the matchup. The team’s 13 points were scraped together through a field goal and a punt return rather than the expected offensive prowess. Maxwell Award’s winner Young’s evening ended with only 185 yards and a 68.4 passer rating. Not to mention, he completed just over half of his attempted passes.
