Broncos Face Panthers as Bryce Young Returns to Starting Lineup

Denver's strong defense prepares for Carolina's struggling offense with Young stepping in after Dalton's injury.

The Denver Broncos are riding a hot streak, winning four of their last five games, largely due to facing teams missing key players.
The Carolina Panthers have reinstated Bryce Young as starting quarterback after Andy Dalton's car accident resulted in a sprained thumb.
Denver's defense is ranked among the top in the league, excelling in red-zone stops and sacks, while the Panthers' defense has struggled significantly.
Carolina's offense ranks low in several categories, and the team has been heavily outscored in the first half of games this season.
The Panthers hope to see the return of WR Adam Thielen from injury, which could provide a much-needed boost to their offensive lineup.
