With the Carolina Panthers' rushing attack failing to generate the required momentum in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they needed quarterback Bryce Young to step up. Not for the first time this season, he produced the goods.
Young was methodical, clinical, composed, and everything in between. And when it came to the clutch, nobody was less surprised than cornerback Jaycee Horn that he came through once again.
This is becoming an encouraging trend for Young. The man fans have tabbed with the Carolina Reaper nickname is living up to it, providing flawless temperament and clutch-king levels of efficiency in the most significant moments.
