PLAYER STATS

Wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette returned a punt for 79 yards for the opening score of the game. The 79-yard return is tied for the third-longest punt return for a touchdown in franchise history.

It is also the fifth punt return touchdown of the 2023 season and the third-longest punt return touchdown behind Los Angeles Chargers WR Derius Davis (87 yards) and Cincinnati Bengals WR Charlie Jones (81 yards).

Smith-Marsette became the seventh Panthers player to return a punt for a touchdown. It was also the 10th punt return for a touchdown in franchise history and the first since Kaelin Clay against the Jets in Week 12 of the 2017 season.

Hauling in six catches, wide receiver Adam Thielen became the fifth undrafted free agent in NFL history to record 600-or-more catches.

With his 10 tackles tonight (second most in a game in his career), defensive tackle Derrick Brown has surpassed Sean Gilbert for eighth-most total tackles by a defensive lineman in Panthers history, now totaling 191. He is now seven tackles away from surpassing Mario Addison (197) for seventh place. His nine solo tackles tonight set a career high.

Quarterback Bryce Young has completed 20 or more passes in eight-consecutive games played to start his career. He trails Chargers QB Justin Herbert (15) for most consecutive 20-completion games to start a career by a rookie in NFL history.

Young completed a 45-yard pass to wideout Mike Strachan in the first quarter and now has three-straight games of a completion of 40+ yards after not having one the previous five games.
In his first-career start, outside linebacker Amaré Barno tallied a career high five tackles.
