Fortunately, Gardner-Johnson wasn’t significantly injured. He returned to the contest and helped the Eagles squeak out a tight 22-16 victory that moved them to 11-2 on the season with four games to go.

Bryce Young nearly helped the Panthers to a monumental upset, but they were unable to punch the ball in the end zone on their final drive and turned the ball over on downs. Young finished the day with 19 completions 191 yards, a touchdown and one interception.

Bryce Young Has Turned A Corner In Carolina

Young was benched after two awful starts in favor of Andy Dalton, seemingly marking the end of his tenure in Carolina. But Dalton suffered a thumb injury in a car accident and had to miss time, prompting Carolina to go back to Young.

The 2023 first-overall pick has significantly improved his play since regaining the starting duties, so he likely earned himself the starting job for 2025.
