QB Bryce Young 'grateful' to be on Panthers, pledges to improve
Quarterback Bryce Young pledged to help the Carolina Panthers any way he can, though the former starter will be watching from the sidelines when the team plays the host Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Young, addressing his demotion from earlier this week, took responsibility on Thursday for his play after being lauded as the franchise quarterback since he was the No. 1 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. "I had a lot of plays last year and in the first two games," Young told reporters during locker room availability. "For the most part, every snap hit my hands and I didn't do enough. I take accountability for that. There's a long list of things that I wish was better and I'll continue to work and grow and improve and be better at. "Everyone has circumstances. If I went out there and played better and won games ... and at the end of the day that falls on me and that didn't happen ... we wouldn't be having this conversation." The Panthers (0-2) lost 26-3 to the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, leaving the second-year quarterback with just two wins in 18 NFL starts. Young, 23, has completed 55.4 percent of his passes this year for 245 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions. Last year, he connected on 59.8 percent of his attempts for 2,877 yards, 11 touchdowns and 10 picks as the team went 2-15. First-year head coach Dave Canales announced Monday that veteran Andy Dalton has moved up to first string after initially saying that Young remained the starter following Sunday's loss. Young admitted Thursday that he was caught by surprise by the benching. "It was not something that I necessarily I was expecting," Young said. "Obviously, not something that was great to hear. "But I respect coach Canales, I respect the organization. They made the decision. ... Right now that's the situation that it is. I have to do everything I can to help the team in whatever way I can." That means running the scout team and mimicking Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew to get the Panthers defense prepared for Sunday. "I'm a day-by-day kind of person," Young said. "I've talked about that consistently. Big picture stuff, that's out of my hands. That's organizational stuff, for the people upstairs. I'm super grateful to be part of the team, with our organization. I want to help in every way I can." Canales said Wednesday that the Panthers are not looking to trade Young, a Heisman Trophy winner who had great success at Alabama but little since his arrival in the NFL. Young said his future in the league is for others to decide, but the 5-foot-10, 204-pounder believes he can succeed at this level. "I have confidence in myself," Young said. "I've always had confidence in myself. Again, it's a day-to-day thing. I always feel like at the end of the day I'm a competitor. Whenever there's a football and there's a field out there, I have the utmost confidence in myself. "It's been great with these guys too, having teammates I can lean on as well. That's not something that's going to waver. Again, what the circumstances are, what happens, that's up for God to decide. That's out of my hands." Carolina traded up prior to the 2023 draft with the Chicago Bears to select Young. Standout receiver D.J. Moore was sent to the Bears, who also used the 2024 No. 1 overall draft pick obtained in the deal to select quarterback Caleb Williams. --Field Level Media.
Bengals grapple with another 0-2 start, face Commanders on MNF
CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals will try to snap out of yet another early-season slump when they host the Washington Commanders on "Monday Night Football." For the third straight year, the Bengals (0-2) have started the season by dropping their first two games. In 2022, they rebounded to win 14 of their next 16 games (including 10 straight) before losing to the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC Championship, keeping them from appearing in a second straight Super Bowl. Last week, the Bengals were on the verge of a road upset before defensive pass interference was called on rookie safety Daijahn Anthony on fourth-and-16 from the Kansas City 35. Four plays later, Harrison Butker kicked the game-winning 51-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Chiefs to a 26-25 win. "I wouldn't say I'm frustrated right now," Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said. "I was frustrated on Sunday. That was a tough loss, but we've just got to go out and get a win. We've got to focus on getting better every day through our practice, and go out and execute when we have to execute on Monday. The rest will take care of itself." Burrow has completed 67.7 percent of his passes and has been sacked six times but has yet to throw an interception. Burrow could get another passing weapon back for the game as Tee Higgins returned to practice Thursday after missing the first two games with a hamstring injury. The Bengals have been hit hard with injuries on the defensive line, losing starters B.J. Hill and Sheldon Rankins to hamstring injuries last Sunday. The Bengals have won six straight home prime-time games, including wins over the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills. Monday will also be a festive night in Cincinnati as Tim Krumrie, a nose tackle on the 1988 Super Bowl team, and the team's all-time leading rusher Corey Dillon will be inducted into the club's Ring of Honor at halftime. The Commanders (1-1) enter Week 3 on a winning note after edging their NFC East rival New York Giants 21-18 on a last-second field goal, giving Dan Quinn his first win as head coach of the Commanders. Washington's offense is led by rookie quarterback and second overall draft pick Jayden Daniels, who is leading all rookies after two games with 132 rushing yards. Running bck Bucky Irving of Tampa Bay is next with 84. Daniels also leads all rookie quarterbacks in passing yardage with 410 yards through two games. Daniels, in his first two career starts, has completed 40 of 53 pass attempts (75.5 percent) with a 97.2 passer rating. "He's a dynamic player. I really like his throwing motion," said Burrow, who, like Daniels, won a Heisman Trophy while playing at LSU. "Seems like he can spin it and understands his fundamentals. I think he's got a bright future. Obviously, he's really fast and quick and dynamic. But I'm not sure he gets enough credit for the passer that he is." "It's big for the whole state of Louisiana to see both of us go up against each other," Daniels said. Quinn has instilled a more aggressive defensive approach, bringing over his style and several players from his time as defensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys. "They're a really good football team," defensive tackle Jonathan Allen said of the Bengals. "When you have a quarterback like Joe Burrow and receivers like Ja'Marr Chase and the players that they have, it's always going to be exciting to go against them." The two teams have never met on "Monday Night Football." --Mike Petraglia, Field Level Media.
