Ask Brian: The Panthers are riding high and I don’t know how to feel
In the latest Ask Brian column, Brian celebrates the Carolina Panthers’ 31‑24 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, highlighting Bryce Young’s precision passing—two touchdown connects to TE Tommy Tremble—and a strong ground game from Chuba Hubbard. The victory comes amid Jalen Hurts’ unexpected absence, and the Panthers may face another backup quarterback when they host Tampa Bay next week. Brian invites fans to submit questions for his upcoming Q&A, promising more insights into the Panthers’ momentum.
Panthers vs Eagles game review: Milestones
The Carolina Panthers upset the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6, while racking up several franchise milestones. Bryce Young became the first Panther QB with 250+ passing yards and a TD in seven straight games and the first NFL player since 2013 to throw 280+ yards and a TD in each of the first five season games, joining Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning in that elite club. The offense posted a record 146 points through five games, surpassing Cam Newton’s 2015 total. Long‑snapper J.J. Jansen set the all‑time NFL record with 282 games, and rookie kicker Ryan Fitzgerald matched Joey Slye’s perfect first‑10‑attempt stretch. The win also contributed to the NFC East’s historic two‑week winless streak, though the Panthers also allowed a franchise‑worst 144 penalty yards.
Carolina Panthers 2027 NFL Draft Prospect Profile: Jamari Johnson
The Carolina Panthers’ 2027 draft radar now includes Oregon tight end Jamari Johnson, a 6‑foot‑5, 257‑lb former quarterback turned versatile pass‑catcher. In four games he logged 17 receptions for 224 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 16 yards per catch and showcasing solid run‑blocking. Scouts praise his elite size, speed and ability to line up inline or in the slot, but note his need to bulk up and improve contested‑route technique. Projected as a late‑first‑ to early‑second‑round pick, Johnson could give Bryce Young a massive red‑zone weapon as the Panthers look beyond aging veterans Darren Waller and Tommy Tremble.
The Optimist: An ugly win is still a win
The Carolina Panthers eked out a 25-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on October 18, 2026, despite a sloppy performance that left the game within one possession until a late Eagles snap error and a 19‑yard TD pass sealed the result. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young stayed turnover‑free, but the team set a franchise record with 144 penalty yards. Injuries continue to bite the secondary, with Jackson and Jaycee Horn sidelined. The victory moves Carolina to 3‑2, their best start since 2018, and sets up a divisional clash with a struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week. The win shows resilience, though short‑yardage efficiency and depth remain concerns.

Panthers vs Eagles: Recap and analysis
The Carolina Panthers survive a controversial officiating marathon to defeat a depleted Philadelphia Eagles 25‑14 at Lincoln Financial Field on October 18, 2026. After a dominant defensive start—including a Bobby Okereke sack and a forced punt—the Panthers build a 10‑0 lead when Bryce Young connects with Tommy Tremble for a touchdown. Despite numerous penalties and challenged calls that nullify several big plays for both sides, the Eagles rally to cut the lead to 10‑7 before halftime. In the second half, Young’s offense adds a field goal and a late fourth‑quarter rushing touchdown by Chuba Hubbard, while the Eagles’ only score comes from Dameon Pierce. The game ends with the Panthers holding on for the road win amid constant flag‑throwing.
