In a notable NFL matchup, Panthers quarterback Bryce Young demonstrated his potential by leading his team to a 23-22 victory over the Saints. This marked Young's first game-winning touchdown drive as an NFL quarterback. The achievement was particularly significant given the challenges he faced last season when the Panthers' victories were primarily secured through field goals.

Veteran wideout David Moore highlighted Young's leadership during the decisive drive: "He said, 'Let's go get this win. Why can't it be us?'" Moore remarked on Young's evident determination and how it inspired the team to rally for victory.

Young expressed his excitement about the opportunity, saying, "Where else would you rather be? That's all you can ask for, you know, have a chance to go take the lead in a drive." He credited teamwork for their success, noting that everyone played for each other in what he described as "a great, great team effort."

The game showcased Young's ability to make impactful plays downfield, contrasting with his previous performances where he averaged fewer yards per pass attempt. On Sunday, he improved this average significantly with several long pass attempts. Despite some earlier frustrations in the fourth quarter, Young managed to connect on key passes late in the game.

Panthers guard Robert Hunt praised Young's performance and mindset: "I'm really happy for Bryce... He's been a winner for a long time." Hunt emphasized the difficulty of winning close games in the league and commended Young and his teammates for their perseverance.

Head coach Dave Canales recognized Young's contributions during critical moments of the game but refrained from confirming him as next week's starter against the Giants in Germany. Canales commented on Young's progress: "But he came up big in some critical moments... So a great step."

This performance by Bryce Young not only provided evidence of his capability but also offered hope to Panthers fans eager to see more victories led by their young quarterback.
