It wasn’t pretty, but it was a win all the same: Bryce Young, the much-maligned and benched former No. 1 pick, managed to guide the Carolina Panthers to a win over divisional rival New Orleans. Young now has three wins as a starter in the NFL.

The key drive came with 3:26 left in the game, as Young led Carolina on a four-play, 64-yard touchdown drive over just 1:08 to take a one-point 23-22 lead.

Carolina, which was in the pole position for the No. 1 draft pick coming into Sunday, is now one of several teams with two wins on the season. New Orleans has now lost seven straight games after beginning the season 2-0.
