Bryce Young recorded the first 300-yard passing game of his career and led a comeback from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit on Sunday. But the Green Bay Packers pulled out a 33-30 victory over the Carolina Panthers on a field goal with 19 seconds to play.

The former Alabama All-American completed 23-of-35 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Young also ran four times for 17 yards.

Young entered the fourth quarter 10-of-19 for 135 yards in Sunday’s game and hadn’t thrown a touchdown pass since the third quarter of a 33-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 19 – a drought of 20 quarters.

But with the Panthers trailing 30-16 on Sunday, Young directed Carolina through touchdown drives of nine plays for 60 yards and five plays for 70 yards to tie the game.

Young capped each series with a touchdown pass to wide receiver DJ Chark – an 11-yarder with 7:14 to play and a 10-yarder with 4:05 remaining – as he completed 13-of-16 passes for 177 yards with two touchdowns in the final period.

Carolina interim coach Chris Tabor said Young “was in complete control.”

“You’re seeing a guy play with some confidence and understanding,” Tabor said. “He’s smart. He’s understanding how the game’s being played and what needs to be done, and he’s doing those things. You’re seeing a rookie player grow.”

After the Panthers tied the score, the Packers got a 36-yard completion on a third-and-4 throw from quarterback Jordan Love to wide receiver Romeo Doubs and a 20-yard connection between Love and tight end Tucker Kraft to reach the Carolina 13-yard line with 1:54 to play.

Green Bay played for a field goal from there, and rookie kicker Anders Carlson connected from 32 yards to put the Packers in front.

Young completed consecutive 22-yard passes on the Panthers’ last-gasp possession. But Carolina ran out of time after reaching the Green Bay 31-yard line.

“Ultimately, it wasn’t enough,” Young said. “We got to be better. But it’s a good place for us to build from as a unit.”

Tabor said he thought the Panthers had one second left to try a field goal when the game was ruled over.

“I’m disappointed,” Tabor said. “I’m disappointed for those guys in that room. They laid everything out on the line right there. We ran out of time. We’re getting better. There’s no doubt about that. That’s evident in how we’re playing.”

Carolina was coming off its second victory of the season – a 9-7 win over the Atlanta Falcons one week ago.

“You’re watching a group grow,” Tabor said. “As I said when I stood up here last week: Those guys made plays. You saw it carry over today. And what we talked about was since you did that, that was the standard, so now that’s what you’re chasing. And I thought today, they took the standard, they met it and then they moved it up some more.”

Carolina had not scored more than 27 points in any game this season and had not topped 18 in the past eight.

“Really, I think it’s as good as we’ve looked a unit,” Young said. “Whatever stats or whatever may say, you point at one person and say, ‘That’s a good game.’ It’s all of us. I think this was a good building block for us as a unit. Again, that’s all 11, plus with all the coaches, of course. We all stepped up. There’s obviously still stuff to clean up – myself first and foremost.”

Young’s previous passing high had come in a 42-24 loss to the Detroit Lions on Oct. 8, when he completed 25-of-41 passes for 247 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.

With a 2-13 record, the Panthers will complete their season by visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 31 and hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Jan. 7.
