Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for games played in Week 11 (November 13, 16-17), the NFL announced Wednesday.
Young completed 31 of 45 attempts (68.9 percent) for a franchise-record and career-high 448 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions for a career-high 123.2 passer rating in Carolina’s 30-27 overtime win at Atlanta. Young became the fifth quarterback under the age of 25 in NFL history to record at least 30 completions, 425 passing yards, three touchdown passes and no interceptions in a game, joining Patrick Mahomes (twice), Drew Bledsoe, Lamar Jackson and C.J. Stroud.
This is Young’s first-career Offensive Player of the Week award and he is the second Offensive Player of the Week for the Panthers this season, joining Rico Dowdle (Week 5). Young is the fifth Carolina quarterback to earn Player of the Week, joining Cam Newton (10-time winner), Steve Beuerlein (Week 14, 1999), Kerry Collins (Week 15, 1996) and Jake Delhomme (Week 4, 2008).
Young is the third Alabama quarterback to win an Offensive Player of the Week award, joining Tua Tagovailoa (three-time winner) and Jeff Rutledge (Week 9, 1990). He is the second former Alabama player to win an Offensive Player of the Week award this season, joining Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs (Week 10).
