CHARLOTTE — A look inside the stats from the Carolina Panthers 26-23 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13.

• Quarterback Bryce Young found the end zone on a 10-yard rush in the second quarter, capping a four play, 36-yard drive (1:57). This was his second rushing touchdown of the season and of his career. Young hit wide receiver Adam Thielen for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, completing a nine-play, 60-yard drive (2:35). This marked his fifth- straight game with a passing touchdown, the longest span of his career.
• Young finished the day completing 26-of-46 passes for 298 yards and one touchdown. He also had three rushes for 17 yards and one touchdown. In his last five games, Young has seven total touchdowns, also the most in a five-game span in his career. He hasn't thrown an interception in three-consecutive games for the second time in his career (Weeks 14-16, 2023).
• His 298 passing yards were a season-high after setting his previous high last week against Kansas City (263). That's also the second-most in a game for his career (312 – Week 16, 2021 vs. Green Bay).

Woods finished against with seven tackles (five solo), one interception, 33 interception return yards, and one pass defensed.

Snap Counts

Take a look at the snap counts and playtime percentage for the Panthers in Week 13 of the regular season against the Bucs.

• Not only were the Panthers locked in with their starting offensive line and quarterback for every snap, but tight end Tommy Tremble played them all too. He was needed with the injury to Ja'Tavion Sanders, but he responded with a career game when they needed it. The tight end shortage was exacerbated when practice squad call-up Stephen Sullivan left after just nine snaps.
• After experimenting with extra-linemen packages previously, the Panthers didn't as much this week. Backup guard Chandler Zavala got just one snap on offense and backup everything Brady Christensen didn't get any.
• Rookie running back Jonathon Brooks got 21 percent of the snaps, roughly the same percentage backup running back Miles Sanders got when he was healthy.

• For starters, 80 snaps of defense is too many snaps of defense. The Bucs were able to control the ball and wear the Panthers out.
• D.J. Wonnum is back and fully integrated after his long comeback from a quadriceps injury, playing 78 percent of the snaps and leading all the pass-rushers. Amaré Barno played nine snaps in his first game back from a torn ACL this year.
• Dane Jackson was projected to be a starter this year, but his preseason injury allowed Mike Jackson to take that job over and never look back. They tried Dane at nickel when he returned from injury but replaced him with rookie Chau Smith-Wade this week. As such, Dane didn't get a single snap this week, the only non-Andy Dalton to dress and not play.

• Special teams regulars Feleipe Franks and Cam Gill were playing bigger roles on offense and defense, among others. But Jon Rhattigan and Lonnie Johnson and Sam Franklin Jr. played their usual 80 percent-plus.
• Caleb Farley getting his only snaps on special teams speaks to the stripped-down nature of the secondary this week.
