Bryce Young passing chart vs. Falcons is a work of art and a major breakthrough

Not only did Young put every part of the field to use, he also used all of the weapons that the Panthers have at his disposal.

In practically every game this season the passing game has been a one-trick pony, with rookie Tetairoa McMillan dominating and nobody else offering a meaningful contribution.

Yesterday it was a different story, as Young connected with nine different pass-catchers, five of which went for 50 receiving yards or more.

McMillan still led the way, posting a game-high 130 yards and two touchdowns, bringing in eight of 12 targets from Young. Xavier Legette only caught four of eight, but he managed to total 83 yards, including a 36-yard touchdown that started the flood. Jalen Coker also chipped in a few clutch catches, and Tommy Tremble made a huge 54-yarder.

This is all very encouraging, but it won't amount to much if Young can only do it against the Falcons. The next step is to carry over the confidence that this win builds and start delivering performances like this more often - and against tougher opponents.
