It was just one drive against the second string of the Buffalo Bills, but it was enough to suggest second-year Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is headed in the right direction after an historically bad rookie season.

Young completed 6 of 8 pass attempts for 70 yards and a touchdown, an 8-yarder over the middle to converted tight end Jordan Matthews, in Saturday's 31-26 victory over the Bills at Highmark Stadium.

It was Young's first and only appearance in a preseason game, one that first-year head coach Dave Canales felt was strong enough to reportedly greet the top pick of the 2023 draft with "hell of a day'' as Young entered the locker room.
