Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young faced significant challenges against the Seattle Seahawks due to their extensive use of man-to-man defense, limiting him to 54 passing yards and one interception in a 27-10 loss. This defensive strategy effectively shut down Carolina's top receivers. The Panthers anticipate the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might adopt a similar approach in their upcoming game, which could decide the NFC South championship. Young had a more successful outing against the Buccaneers earlier in the season.
