Bryce Young faced a stiff test for his Carolina Panthers home debut Monday night against a stout Saints defense under primetime lights.
The draft's No. 1 pick faced constant pressure as New Orleans ground out a 20-17 win to secure a 2-0 start. The Panthers found moderate success on their first possession with a 31-yard drive that stalled out after a false start penalty and concluded with a field goal. It was mostly downhill from there until Carolina found the end zone for the first time on its final possession of the game.
Young finished the game completing 22 of 33 passes for 153 yards with a late touchdown and no interceptions. He was sacked four times including a critical strip sack deep in Saints territory that led to a turnover.New Orleans routinely applied pressure with a four-man front, forcing Young into mistakes against a backloaded Saints secondary.
Young found himself behind the sticks early and often with Carolina's second and third possessions ending in three-and-outs after finding themselves in first-and-20 and third-and-13 situations. Carolina's second possession ended when Young forced a throw to Adam Thielen in tight coverage that was nearly intercepted by Alontae Taylor.
