Overview

• After a first-half fumble and interception, Bryce Young finished 19-of-30 for 198 yards with two touchdowns and one pick, capping the rally with a 4-yard strike to rookie tight end Mitchell Evans.
• Rico Dowdle powered the offense with 206 rushing yards, the third-highest single-game total in team history, behind strong perimeter blocking and varied run concepts.
• Carolina’s defense closed the door with a late Patrick Jones II sack of Tua Tagovailoa and held Miami to 19 rushing yards, as leaders like Derrick Brown set the tone.
• The comeback from 17 points matched the biggest in franchise history and moved the Panthers to 2-3 overall and 2-0 at home.
• Despite the win and public support from Canales, ESPN reports league observers are watching whether Young could still be replaced by Andy Dalton if inconsistency returns as Carolina turns to the Cowboys next.
