Panthers QB Bryce Young makes franchise, NFL history in Week 6
Bryce Young's strong start to 2026 extended into Week 6, where he accomplished a few interesting feats.
In a 25-14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young set new franchise and NFL records during Week 6. Despite struggling against a formidable defense, completing only 20 of his 39 passes, Young still managed to throw for 281 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. This accomplishment marks him as the franchise leader in touchdown passes through five games, with 11.
Young's feat becomes even more remarkable when considering the illustrious company he has joined. Cam Newton and Jake Delhomme both led the Panthers to the Super Bowl during their prime, establishing themselves as franchise legends. But Young has now surpassed their records. The last NFL quarterback to achieve the feat of passing for at least 280 yards and a touchdown in each of a team's first five games was Peyton Manning in 2013, a record held by Hall of Famers Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.
