With both teams vying for crucial wins late in the season, the Panthers demonstrated their dominance on both sides of the ball, ultimately securing a comfortable victory. Bryce Young was the standout performer for Carolina, throwing for 239 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to lead the offense effectively.
