Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen caught five of his six targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His biggest play of the game was a 40-yard touchdown pass courtesy of gorgeous ball placement from quarterback Bryce Young.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young continued his late-season surge to prove he should be the starter heading into 2025 with a 40-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Adam Thielen late in the first half of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.
