Bryce Young and the Panthers Find Better Footing in a 34-17 Victory at the Jaguars
Bryce Young completed 5 of 6 passes for 49 yards and helped set up a touchdown as Carolina improved to 2-1 in preseason play.
On Friday night, quarterback Bryce Young led the Carolina Panthers to a 34-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing 5 of 6 passes for 49 yards and setting up a touchdown drive.
Carolina's first-team offense showed marked improvement after managing only 11 yards across three drives last week against the Buffalo Bills, where Young misfired twice and was sacked three times.
Receiver Roc Taylor hauled in a 16-yard touchdown pass from Kenny Pickett late in the third quarter, while Jacksonville running back Ameer Abdullah improved his roster chances with 82 total yards in the loss.
With 2 minutes remaining, coaches agreed to end the contest after a lightning delay rather than waiting the mandatory 30 minutes required to resume play in the exhibition game.
Backup quarterback Nick Mullens completed 6 of 7 passes for 65 yards for Jacksonville, potentially alleviating concerns about depth behind starter Trevor Lawrence ahead of next week's preseason finale.
