The Carolina Panthers’ 2024 season has been far from ideal, with their record now sitting at 3-8 following a narrow loss to the Chiefs. Despite the defeat, Carolina stayed competitive until the final seconds, nearly securing a statement win against one of the league’s top teams.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young started the game and reflected on his progress after previously being benched earlier in the season. In his postgame comments, shared by ESPN’s David Newton, Young credited his teammates and coaches for helping him improve.
“As the leader of this team, it’s not just about me,” Young explained. “We’ve all been growing within the system, and having more time to establish our identity has helped. I think we’re starting to do that as a unit.”
While Young continues to develop as an NFL quarterback, he acknowledged that his efforts weren’t enough to overcome the Chiefs.
“I didn’t do enough to get the job done today,” he admitted. “There’s still a lot we need to clean up and improve. It’s about relying on each other and using the time we have to come together and solidify our identity.”
Although the Panthers fell short, performances like this can provide a rebuilding team with optimism about their direction moving forward.
