Summary
- Bryce Young sets career-high and franchise record with 448 passing yards

On November 13, 2025, the Carolina Panthers pulled off a dramatic 30-27 overtime victory against the Atlanta Falcons in an NFC South divisional clash. Quarterback Bryce Young was the star of the show, passing for a career-high and franchise-record 448 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown strike to Tetairoa McMillan that gave the Panthers a late 27-24 lead.
However, the Falcons' Zane Gonzalez forced overtime with a 45-yard field goal in the final seconds of regulation. In the extra period, Young's 54-yard pass to Tommy Tremble set up Ryan Fitzgerald's game-winning 28-yard field goal, completing the Panthers' sweep of their division rivals.
Despite the loss, Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had a strong performance, rushing for 104 yards and two touchdowns. But Atlanta's offense struggled after starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury. Backup Kirk Cousins was unable to move the ball in overtime.
The win improves the Panthers' record to 6-5 on the season, while the Falcons drop to 3-7 with their fifth straight defeat, including two in a row in overtime.
