Panthers Sweep Weekly Player Awards After Falcons Win

In a thrilling matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Bryce Young set a Panthers franchise record with 448 passing yards, leading his team to victory. According to Cat Scratch Reader, Young achieved 396 yards in regulation time and connected with Tommy Tremble on a pivotal 52-yard pass that set up the game-winning field goal.

This performance marks the best of Young's career, with only a similar outing against the Falcons last season to compare. It appears that playing in Atlanta brings out the best in Young. His standout performance also provided a significant boost for rookie receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who enjoyed a breakout game with a career-high eight receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns.

McMillan demonstrated impressive run-after-catch ability, powering through multiple defenders for his first touchdown and executing a clever scramble drill to catch the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

The Panthers' victory not only showcased their rising talent but also highlighted their strong season, as they improved to a surprising six and five record. The report indicates that several Panthers players have earned weekly accolades throughout the season, including Rico Dowdle, Trevon Moehrig, Ryan Fitzgerald, and Sam Martin.

With Young and McMillan receiving these awards this week, it emphasizes the potential of the Panthers' roster and their ability to perform in clutch situations. The combination of Young's record-setting performance and McMillan's emergence as a reliable target points to a promising future for the Panthers as they continue to build momentum in the second half of the season.
