Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young is as clutch as they come.
Not only did the Carolina Panthers upset the Los Angeles Rams at home on Sunday, but QB Bryce Young also made NFL history.
The former No. 1 overall pick is the youngest QB in NFL history to record 11 fourth-quarter comebacks, besting Buffalo Bills superstar Josh Allen (24 years, 164 days).
Young was stellar against the Rams. He went 15-20 for 206 yards and three touchdown passes and didn't turn the ball over.
The Panthers beat the Rams by a final score of 31-28. It's the biggest win of Young's professional career.
"I just trust my guys," Young said after the game. "There's no big conversation, no big hoorah. Again, for me, I'm super grateful to have guys like that on the perimeter that I trust—in need-to-have situations, in fourth downs. Trust them to win one-on-ones, trust them with 50-50 balls, trust them if they're more open, whatever it may be."
No one gave the Panthers any chance to beat the Rams, who entered Sunday with a strong record of 9-2. Young and Co. continue to defy all the odds stacked against them and it's been fun to watch.
Sunday marked the second three touchdown and zero interception game for Young this season. He had one such game in his career entering this season.
Young saved his NFL career this season. Now, let's see if the Alabama product can lead the Panthers to the playoffs. That would be quite the story.
Carolina faces the New Orleans Saints next. Young and the Panthers can't lose that game. The Saints are one of the worst teams in the NFL. Losing to them would erase this incredible win against the Rams.
Young is now 13-27-0 as a starter in the NFL. He has 18 passing touchdowns on the season. There were so many people around the league who thought Young would be cut or traded this offseason after the first two weeks of the season.
Now? Young could be back with the Panthers in a major way.
