TAMPA, Fla.— A look inside the numbers and snap counts from Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

• On the Panthers first drive of the game, quarterback Bryce Young found receiver Adam Thielen on a 17-yard touchdown pass, capping a six-play, 70-yard drive (3:20). He hit Thielen again for a 40-yard touchdown in the second quarter, finishing a four-play, 70-yard drive (0:21). Young reached 12 passing touchdowns on the season, a career-high. He has had 12 touchdown passes in his last nine games.
• Young finished the game completing 15-of-28 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns, good for a 100.7 passer rating, his second-consecutive game with a passer rating above 100. He also rushed twice for 8 yards. Today marked Young's ninth game in a row with a passing touchdown, the longest streak of his career.
• Young finished 3-of-6 for 88 yards and 2 touchdowns on deep pass attempts (20+ air yards), doubling his deep touchdown career total. All four of Young's deep passing touchdowns in his career have come over his last five games (since Week 13).

• Thielen scored his fourth touchdown of the season on the Panthers opening drive, a 17-yard pass from Young. He has had at least four touchdown catches in each of his last nine seasons. On the touchdown, Thielen reached 500 receiving yards on the year, his eighth season reaching this milestone.
• His second touchdown of the day came late in the second quarter, a 40-yard touchdown pass from Young. This was his longest catch as a Panther.
• Thielen caught five passes for 110 yards with two touchdowns, his second game this season, and fifth in a Panthers uniform, with over 100 receiving yards.
• He finished the first half with four catches for 107 yards, the third-most in a first half in his career. He also added two touchdowns, marking the second-time in his career with multiple receiving scores in a first half.
• Sunday marked his first game with multiple touchdowns since Week 12 of the 2021 season while he was with the Vikings.
• His 22.0 yards per catch were also his most while playing for the Panthers.
• This was his fifth game in a row with at least five catches.

• In the first quarter, rookie linebacker Jacoby Windmon and rookie tackle Jaden Crumedy got to Baker Mayfield in the red zone, holding the Buccaneers to a field goal.
• Windmon, in the second start of his career, has had a sack in consecutive games.
• The sack marked the first of Crumedy's career
• Outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney brought down Mayfield for a loss of 8 in the second quarter. This marked Clowney's fourth road game in a row with a tackle for loss.
• The Panthers defense got to Baker Mayfield twice, their eighth game this season with multiple sacks. Since Week 12, the Panthers have 19.0 sacks, tied for the third-most in the NFL during that stretch.

• Linebacker Chandler Wooten made the first start of his career against Tampa Bay. He led all defenders with a career-high 14 tackles (seven solo).
• Corner Mike Jackson recorded two tackles for loss, the most in a single game in his career.
• Three Panthers defenders, Wooten, Windmon, and Xavier Woods, all finished with double-digit tackles.
• With three punts landing inside the 20-yard line, punter Johnny Hekker passed Matt Turk for sole possession of 11th in NFL history (376)

• According to Next Gen Stats, Bryce Young was pressured on 68.6 percent of his dropbacks (24 times) against the Buccaneers, the highest pressure rate faced by a quarterback in a game this season. Eight different Buccaneers defenders finished with multiple pressures.

• With the 48 points allowed on Sunday, the Panthers season total points allowed currently sits at 496 games. This surpasses the previous franchise record of 470 points in the 2019 season and is seventh-most in league history.

• With the 551 yards allowed to the Bucs offense, the Panthers defense has allowed 6,340 net yards (2,830 rushing, 3,510 passing) this season. This marked the most net yards allowed in team history. The previous record for net yards allowed in a season was 6,042 in 2011.

• Tampa Bay had 202 rushing yards on Sunday. In total thus far, the Panthers have allowed 2,830 rushing yards, the most rushing yards allowed in team history. The previous record for rushing yards allowed in a season was 2,301 in 2001.
• Buccaneers maintained time of possession for 41:11 at Tampa Bay. This marked the highest time of possession by an opponent in team history.
• The Panthers allowed 33 first downs (14 rushing, 17 passing, 2 penalty) on Sunday. This equaled the most first downs allowed in a game in team history, previously accomplished at New Orleans (1/1/12).

Snap Counts

Take a look at the snap counts and playtime percentage for the Panthers in Week 17 of the regular season against the Bucs.

• Regardless of what the defense is doing, 47 snaps is not enough snaps. The Panthers were just 2-of-9 (22 percent) on third downs.
• The tight end percentage evened out this week, after Tommy Tremble had taken a larger share than Ja'Tavion Sanders in previous weeks.
• Not only did Adam Thielen make big plays, he did it while playing 85 percent of the snaps, which is high for him recently after he returned from a hamstring injury. Of course, only 40 total snaps made that workload more manageable.
• Raheem Blackshear got the bulk of the snaps at running back, partially because Mike Boone was sick last week and didn't have a full practice load.

• Regardless of what the offense is doing, 77 snaps is too many snaps. The Panthers allowed the Bucs a 41:11-18:49 time of possession advantage.
• Xavier Woods again played every snap, as he has in every game this season. He leads the league in defensive snaps played this year.
• He was joined in the ironman club by Chandler Wooten in his first NFL start, Caleb Farley in his most extensive action as a Panther, along with Demani Richardson and Mike Jackson.
• With Jaycee Horn inactive and Chau Smith-Wade on IR, Dane Jackson played 64 snaps at nickel, and Akayleb Evans got his first work here outside.

• With so much attrition on offense and defense, the special teams units are picked over and full of replacements. But Jon Rhattigan, Sam Franklin Jr., and Nick Scott each played 27 snaps.
• As expected, Johnny Hekker had three more snaps than Eddy Piñeiro, meaning they punted too much, and kicked for points/kicked off not enough.
