Panthers Rally for Big Win as Bryce Young Faces Growing Doubts

The Carolina Panthers didn’t just win — they stormed back with one of the most memorable comebacks in franchise history.
Down 17-0 early in front of their home crowd in Charlotte, Carolina flipped the script to pull off a 27-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins.

And the hero of the day? Rico Dowdle.
With Chuba Hubbard sidelined, Dowdle took center stage — and ran wild. He logged 206 of the Panthers’ 239 rushing yards, becoming the first player this season to surpass 200 yards on the ground. His fourth-quarter touchdown sealed the comeback and the victory.

This wasn’t just a good game — it was “The Rico Dowdle Game.”
Every carry felt like a message. Every burst through the line screamed leadership and intent. With Bryce Young still working through his ups and downs, Dowdle’s power-running performance steadied the offense when it needed it most.

Speaking of Young — it was another rollercoaster afternoon.
The third-year QB started poorly, with two early turnovers that Miami quickly turned into touchdowns. Those first-half struggles have been his Achilles’ heel all season. But credit where it’s due: he regrouped, threw for 198 yards and two TDs to Mitchell Evans and Xavier Legette, and showed composure when it mattered most.

Meanwhile, the Panthers’ defense deserves equal praise. After a shaky start, they locked in during the second half, holding Miami to just 103 total yards and giving Carolina the platform to rally.
That 17-point comeback tied the largest in team history — a testament to resilience and belief.

Next week brings a tougher challenge against the Dallas Cowboys, and Bryce Young will need to start faster. But for now, this comeback win is a reminder that the fight in Carolina is still alive.
