In Sunday’s dramatic 36-30 overtime victory against the Arizona Cardinals, Young demonstrated his athleticism with a career-high 68 rushing yards and his toughness, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-will-bryce-young-start-vs-cardinals-after-career-high-turnover-setback">bouncing back from a brutal hit</a> to deliver a game-winning performance.</p><p>Young’s ability to lead the Panthers to their third game-winning drive of the season has helped the team <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/watch/nfl/bryce-young-carolina-panthers-are-establishing-an-identity" rel="noopener">establish a stronger identity</a> heading into the season’s final stretch.</p><p>“This is just big for us,” Young said after the game. “We talked about this last part of the season being a great opportunity just for us to finish, to set the tone for the future. Kind of just lay the foundation of where we want to go.”</p><p>Young completed <a href="https://www.panthers.com/news/for-bryce-young-taking-a-shot-and-popping-up-is-part-of-the-job" rel="noopener">17 of 26 passes</a> for 158 yards and two touchdowns, posting a 107.5 passer rating — his highest of the season. More importantly, he showcased his versatility, running for critical first downs and even rushing for a touchdown. Panthers head coach Dave Canales praised Young’s decision-making and poise.</p><h2><b>Bryce Young and the Panthers are finding their voice as the season nears a close</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bryce-Young_787ad4.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>“He just played fast again,” Canales said. “He was really decisive. You saw some of the scrambles early in the first half, where he was able to pick up some critical third downs for us. And again, just making some really nice throws when we needed him to.”</p><p>Young also turned heads with his ability to take a hit and keep going. Late in the game, he absorbed a tough blow to the chest while delivering a key pass to Tommy Tremble. Moments later, he found David Moore for a clutch fourth-quarter touchdown. Right guard Robert Hunt described how Young’s resilience inspires the team:</p><p>“That kid’s as tough as nails, and I give him a lot of credit,” Hunt said. “I saw that hit, so I ran to him, and I was kinda like, ‘Yo, s—, are you all right?’ And he hopped up; he was smiling, so he’s ready to play, man.” Despite a challenging season, including being benched earlier in the year, Young has steadily improved. His ability to respond after a rough game against the Cowboys last week demonstrates his growth as a quarterback and leader.</p><p>“There’s no quit in this team at all, so I’m super grateful to be a part of it,” Young said. “Just our drive to finish, and that’s something that coach instills in us on a daily basis. I think it’s showing.” Young’s performance on Sunday reinforced his role as the Panthers’ future leader. As he continues to build his identity through grit, accuracy, and leadership, the Panthers are laying a foundation for long-term success.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It happened and I have to grow from it.”</p><p>Hopefully Hubbard’s spirits are lifted after helping win the game in overtime on Sunday.</p><p>Next up for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/schedule/upcoming">Panthers is a Week 17 matchup against the Buccaneers</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Kyler Murray and the offense took over and picked up a first down but went backward after that. Bryce Young got the ball back and Chuba Hubbard finished off the game. It is the fourth win of the season for the Panthers and the eighth loss for the Cardinals.</p><p>The Cardinals were only in the playoff conversation because of the mediocrity of the NFC West. The 49ers were also eliminated on Sunday while the Rams and Seahawks battle it out for the division title. There are plenty of positives to take away from this season for Arizona but they need to improve for next season.</p><p>Where can the Cardinals improve?

With James Connor running the ball and Trey McBride at tight end, they have the offensive weapons. After giving up 36 points to a lowly Panthers team, their needs are obvious.</p><p>The Cardinals’ defense has been a great story this year despite their lack of stars. A band of little-known players helped secure four straight wins in the middle of the season. Without great defensive performances against the Chargers and Dolphins, they never would have been in playoff contention.</p><p>With eyes on the offseason, the Cardinals should focus on defensive free agents. Cornerbacks DJ Reed and Carlton Davis should be their top targets. Someone to cover the great receivers in the NFC West like DK Metcalf and Puka Nakua is important to their playoff chances.</p><p>Edge rushers Matthew Judon and Haason Reddick will also be free agents. The Cardinals drafted <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-6-figure-check-haason-reddick-forfeit-missing-49ers-game">Reddick but after his rough season with the Jets</a>, his market has likely dried up.

However, both teams added their <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1870837175975350737" rel="noopener">starting center to the injury report</a> just hours before game time.

It’s never good to have to make a last-minute change on the offensive line, so these teams are hoping Froholdt and Mays will be able to give it a go.</p><p>Froholdt has started all 14 games for the Cardinals this season after he landed a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-arizona-rewards-underrated-kyler-murray-protector-hjalte-froholdt-contract-extension">contract extension in the offseason</a>. He became a mainstay on Arizona’s offensive line in 2023, starting in all 17 games last season.

Wide receivers Jalen Coker and David Moore are expected to play despite recent injuries.

Despite being limited in practice this week, the wideout is set to play for the second consecutive game, marking the first time he’s been able to do so since Weeks 9 and 10. Coker’s availability is critical for a Panthers receiving corps without rookie Xavier Legette, who has been ruled out with a hip injury.</p><h2><b>Panthers get much needed boost in the passing game on Sunday</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/David-Moore.jpg"><figcaption>Eric Hartline-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Coker has shown flashes of potential in his limited appearances this season, and his ability to stretch the field will provide some much-needed depth alongside veteran Adam Thielen. With Coker’s return, the Panthers hope to maintain offensive momentum and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-will-bryce-young-start-vs-cardinals-after-career-high-turnover-setback">give quarterback Bryce Young additional targets.</a></p><p>Moore, a seasoned veteran, <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/panthers-david-moore-trending-toward-playing-sunday/" rel="noopener">has been in the concussion protocol</a> but participated fully in Friday’s practice. His clearance from an independent neurologist ensures his availability for Sunday’s game. Moore’s experience and reliability will be key as the Panthers attempt to exploit the Cardinals’ secondary, which has struggled against dynamic receiving units this season.</p><p>Moore’s presence also bolsters an offense that has seen its ups and downs, particularly as the team navigates Young’s rookie campaign. Moore’s ability to make contested catches and provide a safety valve for Young will be instrumental as the Panthers aim to finish the season strong.</p><p>While Thielen remains the centerpiece of the Panthers’ passing attack, the return of Coker and Moore rounds out a receiving corps that has struggled with injuries. Thielen, who has been the team’s most consistent target, will likely continue to lead the group, with Coker and Moore expected to complement his production.</p><p>Facing a Cardinals team with a 3-11 record, the Panthers are looking to capitalize on their healthier roster to snap a three-game losing streak. The additional firepower could make the difference in a game where both teams are eager to end the season on a positive note.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After three straight weeks of competitive losses, they took a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-will-bryce-young-start-vs-cardinals-after-career-high-turnover-setback">massive step back against the Cowboys last week</a>. Their offense could not keep up with Cooper Rush, and they lost again, falling to 3-11. Now, they face the Cardinals, who are playing for their playoff lives. The Panthers will do it without Xavier Legette, <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1870190932408316107" rel="noopener">who is out with a hip injury</a>, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.</p><p>“Panthers ruled out wide receiver Xavier Legette for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals due to his hip injury,” Schefter reported.</p><p>Legette was the final pick of the first round and has been important to Young’s development this season. Despite a solid rookie year, he may remember it most for dropping a potential game-winning touchdown in Week 15. The Panthers could have beaten the Eagles with that catch. But without him this week, it could be another step back for Young.</p><p>The Panthers will also be without Jonathon Brooks and Miles Sanders for this game. Chuba Hubbard will have to carry their running game while Jalen Coker and Adam Thielen dominate the passing game. Without Legette, it will be tough sledding to keep up with a solid Cardinals offense.</p><h2><b>Panthers building toward the future down the stretch</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Xavier-Legette-with-Carolina-Panthers-1.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Panthers started this season with the lowest expectations possible. If they saw progress from Young and finished in the top ten of the draft order, it would be a rousing success. But they did not reach those goals for the first three-quarters of the season. Young was brutal before getting benched in favor of Andy Dalton.</p><p>The Panthers slid Dalton in to nip the winless season storyline early on and hope Young could learn from the veteran. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-andy-dalton-not-practicing-day-scary-car-accident">After Dalton got in a car accident</a>, Young came back and showed significant improvements. The Panthers nearly beat the Eagles, Buccaneers, and Chiefs after their bye. They did beat the Giants and Saints in consecutive weeks with Young under center before the bye.</p><p>Legette has been a major reason why Young has shown improvement. He has 439 receiving yards, the most on the Panthers this season, and four touchdowns.

Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray rebounded from a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-kyler-murray-blunt-admission-seahawks-loss">rough outing against the Seattle Seahawks</a> in Week 14 to get Arizona to 7-7 on the season. Still in the playoff picture, the Cardinals head to Carolina to take on the Panthers in Week 16. The only problem? It’s going to be a bit chilly.</p><p>It seems as if Murray may have become accustomed to the friendly environment of State Farm Stadium. While the weather in Glendale, Arizona is usually warm, the Cardinals’ stadium has a retractable roof that ensures the team is never uncomfortable. But Arizona can’t take its stadium on the road, so how will Murray <a href="https://x.com/BoBrack/status/1869518626040238553" rel="noopener">deal with the weather</a> in Charlotte?</p><p>When asked if he was concerned about the temperature for Week 16’s matchup, Murray brushed the question off, saying “I’ve played in cold weather before,” per Cardinals reporter Bo Brack on X. Then, after a moment, the sixth-year veteran asked, “How cold is it supposed to be?” A reporter replied, “35 degrees.” As the weather report sunk in, Murray cracked a smile and responded with an expletive.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kyler: I’ve played in cold weather before. How cold is it supposed to be?</p><p>Reporter: 35</p><p>Kyler: …shit <a href="https://t.co/liWhKaBtqb">pic.twitter.com/liWhKaBtqb</a></p><p>— Bo Brack (@BoBrack) <a href="https://twitter.com/BoBrack/status/1869518626040238553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 18, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>How is this possible? Murray is 27 and he’s played football all his life. How can an afternoon game that dips into the 30s be concerning to him? Yes, Murray is from Texas. Sure, he plays his home games in Arizona. And naturally, his division is confined to moderate climates. But he played his college ball at the University of Oklahoma. It gets cold in Oklahoma. He’s been in the NFL for six years and he’s started 79 games. Surely he’s stumbled across some weather in all that time, no?</p><h2><b>Can Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray play in the cold?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Kyler-Murray.jpg"><figcaption>Michael Chow/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Since entering the league in 2019, Murray has played in five games on the road, outdoors in cold-weather cities in the month of December – and one late-November game against the Patriots. So, six potentially cold-weather games. In those games he’s gone 4-2 and thrown eight touchdowns against just two interceptions.</p><p>Murray has played well on the road in general throughout his career with a 93.8 rating compared to 91.2 in home games. He’s thrown 31 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in the months of December and January. So hopefully the weather in Carolina won’t completely wreck his game.</p><p>Murray has an opportunity to prove he’s the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-cardinals-loss-seahawks-kyler-murray-not-answer-quarterback">long-term answer at quarterback for the Cardinals</a> with a strong finish in the stretch run. And finally getting <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-trey-mcbride-unfortunate-nfl-history-patriots-blowout-win">Trey McBride into the end zone</a> would be a nice bonus.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Quarterback Bryce Young, the top pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, has made major strides since returning to the starting lineup. Panthers head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-will-bryce-young-start-vs-cardinals-after-career-high-turnover-setback">Dave Canales confirmed that Young would remain the starter</a>, a move of which many are supportive of. Canales and GM Dan Morgan have worked hard in their first season in charge, and that’s something that has caught the eye of Carolina owner David Tepper. The sometimes-heavy-handed Tepper talked about the duo <a href="https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1869185907758112949" rel="noopener">that is leading his team</a> to reporters at a team event Tuesday evening.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Speaking with <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Panthers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Panthers</a> owners David and Nicole Tepper at their sixth annual “Joy to the Carolinas” event at Bank of America Stadium, I asked David Tepper for his thoughts on HC Dave Canales, GM Dan Morgan and EVP Brandt Tilis in their first season working together.</p><p>He called… <a href="https://t.co/AqezVoQgGI">pic.twitter.com/AqezVoQgGI</a></p><p>— Mike Kaye (@mike_e_kaye) <a href="https://twitter.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1869185907758112949?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 18, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“Speaking with #Panthers owners David and Nicole Tepper at their sixth annual “Joy to the Carolinas” event at Bank of America Stadium, I asked David Tepper for his thoughts on HC Dave Canales, GM Dan Morgan and EVP Brandt Tilis in their first season working together,” posted the Charlotte Observer’s Mike Kaye on X, formerly Twitter. “He called them an ‘extremely good management team.'”</p><p>Tepper elaborated further, saying that the team and its leaders are “just getting started.” For the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-nfl-insider-blasts-tepper-ridiculous-diontae-johnson-trade">many missteps Tepper has taken</a> during his time owning the team, one can never question the passion he has for the Panthers. He’s been very active in the community (the “Joy to the Carolinas” is one of many philanthropic efforts the Teppers host each year), and despite the team’s 3-11 record, there is faith that the duo of Canales and Morgan is off to a good start. Can this good start lead into some season-ending wins? Based on the remaining slate, it is certainly possible.</p><h2><b>Dave Canales, Dan Morgan have uneven first season in charge of Panthers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Panthers-HC-Dave-Canales.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite being mired in a four-game losing streak, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-carolina-favored-win-first-time-34-games">the Panthers have improved</a> tremendously since earlier in the season. They started 1-7 before beating the New Orleans Saints, a division rival, at home. The next week saw Canales’ team victorious against the New York Giants in Germany, followed by a bye week. Even though they’ve lost every matchup since then, they’ve lost close games against three teams ahead of them in the standings before Sunday’s disappointing 30-14 setback. Still, Tepper had more good things to say about the brain trust of his team.</p><p>“…we’re just building momentum through this year and … it’s just building and building and building, and I think you know we’ll build in the next few years,” Tepper said to Kaye on Tuesday.</p><p>Based on the on-field product, it certainly looks as if momentum is building in Charlotte.

It’s wonderful. We all had our favorite pieces… My mom and I would even ask for the brain of the squirrel. Delicious.

The Panthers have played much better lately, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-cam-newton-territory-83-yard-td-strike">as quarterback Bryce Young’s improvement</a> has been a key positive for the team to see as this season has progressed. Today, however, was a speed bump for Young and the Panthers. The 2023 NFL Draft’s No.1 overall pick had a career high four turnovers in an upset 30-14 loss to the Cowboys. Despite the tough outing, Carolina head coach Dave Canales confirmed that Young would <a href="https://x.com/DNewtonespn/status/1868408700857381193" rel="noopener">remain the starting quarterback</a> next week against the Arizona Cardinals.</p><p>“Bryce Young will remain the Panthers starting QB despite a career-high four turnovers,” reported ESPN’s David Newton on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>That is certainly the best decision for the team, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-vic-fangio-breaks-down-bryce-young-massive-turnaround">as Young has still shown</a> a ton of progress since taking the starting job back following a benching earlier this season. Even though the Panthers lost their fourth game in a row, the team is still playing hard, and the talent is more evident than ever. With Arizona coming to town next week, can Young lead the Panthers to a win over fellow number one overall pick Kyler Murray and the strong Cardinals defense? It will be intriguing to see how his progression continues after Sunday’s setback.</p><h2><b>Will Bryce Young, Panthers rebound versus Cardinals next week?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Panthers-QB-Bryce-Young.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Panthers will face the Cardinals, the third-place team in the NFC West, next Sunday at home. Despite Sunday’s loss to Dallas, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-carolina-favored-win-first-time-34-games">will Carolina be favored</a> in the matchup? It’s possible, as the Cards are currently on a three-game skid and are playing the New England Patriots at home right now.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-andy-dalton-helped-bryce-young-resurrect-career">Young lost two fumbles and</a> threw two interceptions in the 16-point loss, which led to the Panthers being officially eliminated from playoff contention. Canales’ first season at the helm will end a bit earlier than he and his team would like. However, if they play as well as they have since Young took the reins back from backup Andy Dalton, then it is certainly possible for them to close with a couple of wins.</p><p>Canales and his team close the seasons with road trips to division rivals. Week 17 will see them <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-todd-bowles-reveals-challenge-facing-ex-oc-dave-canales">visit Canales’ old team,</a> the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That will be an interesting matchup, as the Panthers nearly beat the Bucs in Week 13 at home. Can they get finally beat their longtime rivals on the road? The season finale will be on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. Can the Panthers play spoilers to both the Falcons and Buccaneers’ playoff hopes? Panthers fans, and the team itself, certainly hopes so. If Young continues his growth, then anything is possible.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Hall of Fame wideout announced on Friday <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-randy-moss-makes-cancer-admission">that he is battling cancer</a>, and on Sunday, Thielen <a href="https://x.com/Panthers/status/1868317950098526700" rel="noopener">paid tribute to his former franchise-mate</a>.</p><p>Thielen rocked the iconic white and purple 84 jersey — ahead of the Panthers Week 15 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys — in honor of the HOF’er who started his illustrious career there. Moss played for Minnesota from 1998, when the team drafted the Marshall WR 21st overall, to 2004.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/athielen19?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@athielen19</a>  Showing love to the Legend Randy Moss <a href="https://t.co/QSmGqCee4o">pic.twitter.com/QSmGqCee4o</a></p><p>— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) <a href="https://twitter.com/Panthers/status/1868317950098526700?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 15, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Randy Moss and Adam Thielen never overlapped with the Vikes. The current Panther showed up a decade later as an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota State in 2014. He played nine years for his home-state NFL team.</p><p>While they never played together Thielen and Moss will always be connected in the Vikings record books. Moss is second in franchise history in catches (587), receiving yards (9,316), and receiving touchdowns (92), all behind his former teammate, Cris Carter.</p><p>Thielen is up at the top of those lists as well. The two-time Pro Bowler has 534 receptions, 6,682 yards, and 55 touchdowns, good for third, fifth, and third in Vikings history, respectively.</p><p>The Panthers WR is just the latest in a long line of current NFL players who have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-new-england-sends-message-support-randy-moss-cancer-announcment">sent well wishes to Randy Moss</a> in one way or another following his cancer announcement. Despite retiring for good after the 2012 season, Moss has stayed in the public eye and NFL consciousness as an analyst on multiple ESPN shows. His Sunday pregame highlight reel of the best catches from around the football world has been especially impactful.</p><p>The name of the segment is “You Got Mossed,” which has become the common term for any time a person goes up and snags a crazy catch or makes a grab in someone else’s face.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
