Bryce Young’s Turnovers, Run Defense Woes Sink Panthers in 26-10 Opener vs. Jaguars

Jacksonville’s 200 rushing yards extended Carolina’s streak of allowing 200-plus to seven games.

Overview

  • Young went 18-for-35 for 154 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and a lost fumble, finishing with a 49.0 passer rating.
  • Travis Etienne Jr. led the Jaguars with 143 rushing yards as Jacksonville totaled 200 on 32 carries.
  • Young fell to 0-3 in season openers and now has two touchdowns and seven turnovers across those Week 1 starts.
  • Frustration showed with Young slamming his helmet after a failed red-zone fourth down during a game that included a 77-minute lightning delay; he later called it “just competitive nature.”
  • Carolina converted 8 of 15 third downs but squandered chances on key fourth downs, including a nullified Jaguars pick-six that was followed by a 27-yard Chuba Hubbard touchdown; next up is Sept. 14 at Arizona.
