Bryce Young has spent the last month rewriting narratives, record books, and quite possibly the Carolina Panthers’ season.
But on Monday Night Football in Week 12 — Carolina’s first prime-time appearance in two years — Young walks into the toughest stage of his career: a cross-country trip into Levi’s Stadium, under the lights, against a San Francisco 49ers team powered by the most dangerous player the Panthers ever traded away.
That, of course, is Christian McCaffrey.
Carolina knows McCaffrey's strengths all too well. They drafted him, built an offense around him, turned him into an All-Pro, and then traded him to the Niners in 2022 to begin a new era.
