Panthers quarterback Bryce Young made history in Carolina’s 30-27 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. In the victory, Young completed 31-of-his-45 pass attempts for 448 total yards, the most in a single game in franchise history.
Along the way, Young also notched three passing touchdowns, compared to zero interceptions. Young surpassed Cam Newton for the record. Newton tallied 432 passing yards against the Green Bay Packers in 2011.
Before Sunday, Young’s career-high for passing yards in a single game was 328 yards. He accomplished this feat in the Panthers’ 27-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals earlier this season.
Thankfully for Young, his record-breaking day wasn’t spoiled by a loss this time around. The Panthers forced the Falcons to punt in overtime before kicking in a field goal to secure the win.
With the triumph, the Panthers are now 6-5. Carolina has won five of its last seven games. It’s a massive step forward for the organization, which finished with just two wins last season. In October, Young discussed the Panthers’ improvement.
