HUGE stop by the defense. It's a turnover on downs and with 1:22 left and no Lions timeouts, Bryce Young can take victory formation. Panthers with a massive primetime win, 32-26. Will move to 2-2 on the season and a much needed bye.

Jaelan Phillips has been downgraded to OUT with a hamstring. Team also corrects an earlier injury report. Phillips was not evaluated for a concussion. It should've been Feleipe Franks, but he was evaluated and cleared to return.

Lions find the end zone on an 8-yard TD pass to LaPorta DET 26 CAR 32 3:38...buckle up!

Jaelan Phillips is questionable to return with a hamstring and he's being evaluated for a concussion

Jaelan Phillips shaken up on that last play. Walking off on his own, but gingerly.

The Chuba Hubbard drive gets Panthers to the red zone. Couple of shots to the end zone are covered up, so settle for a field goal, but Panthers have a two-possession lead. CAR 32 DET 19 8:59 to play

The Keep Pounding chant in the Bank right now is organic and LOUD

070

Chuba Hubbard having himself a night. A huge 25-yard run with some great vision gets Panthers down to the 2-yard line. Then he punches it in from there. Biggest cheer of the night may be from Fitzgerald hitting the PAT. CAR 29 DET 19

070

Monroe Freeling comes up slow on that last play. Walking off on his own but with trainers. Stone Forsythe will take his place. A Keep Pounding chant breaks out during the change.

All Brycen Tremayne does is get 1st downs

050

Two drives now Goff has tested Evans deep with success. This time a 57-yarder to TeSlaa. But also second drive in a row defense held strong in the red zone. This time Derrick Brown with a tipped pass on 3rd down forces Lions to settle for a FG. DET 19 CAR 22

000

Bryce and TMac are just in that zone tonight. They connect again for a 10-yard touchdown. Perfect route. Fitzgerald misses another PAT? Not sure what's going on there. Have to hope it doesn't come back to bite 'em. CAR 22 DET 16

060

McMillan's 9 receptions in the first half are the most receptions in a single half by any player in Panthers history.

060

Lions 41-yard field goal going into half ties this one back up again. You knew Goff was going to test new corners at some point, and did twice there. First time, Evans/Ransom give up a 49-yarder to Williams. Second time, Evans with PBU in the end zone; Lions settle for FG.

That Young and TMac drive gets Panthers into scoring position. Stalls in Lions territory but enough space for Fitzgerald to hit the 47-yard field goal. CAR 16 DET 13 0:28 to go in half, Lions have 1 timeout

With that 18-yard reception, Tetairoa McMillan just sat a new career record for a single game. He's at 147 yards (previous record was 134 in W11 last season). And there's still a second half to play!

Methodical drive from the Lions to answer, capped by a Gibbs TD run in from the 1-yard line. All of their playmakers got involved on that one. 13-all with 2:14 till half. Panthers will also get ball to start 2nd half.

TMac with a great route on D.J. Reed, gets the step and Young hits him for the 32-yard touchdown. Great play call, incredible route, perfect throw Fitzgerald misses the PAT (🤷‍♀️) CAR 13 DET 6

Bryce to Metchie on a "how the HECK did he get that through traffic" 4th down conversion

43 yard field goal is good DET 6 CAR 7

000

Goff looking for Gibbs, it's initially ruled incomplete, PBU by Ransom. But Lions challenging, saying Gibbs caught it, fumbled it, and St. Brown ran it in for a TD. After review, call on the field stands. Detroit will try the 43-yard field goal.

Maybe Chuba Hubbard's best run of the season yet. Gets around left end for the 15-yard scamper. Touchdown. CAR 7 DET 3 Bank is rockin'

Lions on the board first with a 54-yard field goal. Good pressure from the Panthers on the back end of that opening drive, particularly from Pat Jones, to force Detroit to settle for a field goal. DET 3 CAR 0

Jalen Coker, running out of ways to talk about Bryce Young through three games, gets sort of animated as he says, "I don't know how many times I could say it, that dude is good at football. He is very, very good at football, and everyone's just paying attention now."

Panthers place Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson on injured reserve

Both starting cornerbacks went on IR Wednesday morning, leaving the Panthers with a number of young defensive options heading into Sunday night's prime time game against the Rams.

FWIW, barring Matthew Stafford (tonight) or Jalen Hurt (tomorrow night) have an insane game, Bryce Young will wrap up Week 3 as the league's leading passer (939 yards).

090

The 2-point conversion is good. It's a field goal game. Panthers will take back over with 1:48 left and all three timeouts.

000

Jaycee Horn hurt on that Browns touchdown. Horn being helped off the field now. Cleveland touchdown makes it 19-18 and they'll go for 2.

000

Panthers had an interception in the end zone that would've probably ended it but a roughing the passer on Okereke on Watson gets Browns a fresh set of downs. Sanders in at QB.

000

Bryce Young and offense with a great drive downfield. Ends with Young finding Metchie in the end zone for a wide open touchdown. They go for 2 (would've made it a 7 point game) but don't get it. CAR 18 CLE 13 4:25 to play

Panthers take their first lead of the game with a Ryan Fitzgerald field goal. Huge play to Brycen Tremayne to keep that one going, and a dot to John Metchie. Everyone stepping up today. CAR 12 CLE 10 11:41 left to go in the game

Brycen Tremayne, my lil first down king
