Panthers Rally From 17-Point Deficit To Beat Dolphins 27-24

The Carolina Panthers rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat the Miami Dolphins 27-24 at Bank of America Stadium, matching the largest comeback in franchise history and improving to 2-3. Bryce Young, after two early turnovers that helped Miami build the 17-0 lead, finished 19-of-30 for 198 yards and threw the go-ahead 4-yard touchdown to Mitchell Evans with 1:59 remaining. Rookie fill-in Rico Dowdle carried the offense, rushing for 206 yards and a touchdown (the second-most single-game total in team history) and coming within four yards of the franchise record. Tua Tagovailoa completed 27-of-36 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns (to De'Von Achane, Darren Waller and Jaylen Waddle, who had 110 receiving yards), but Miami (1-4) saw its ground game stifled and was unable to convert late after a decisive sack by Patrick Jones II and a Panthers pass-interference call on Jack Jones helped seal the win. Key moments included a Minkah Fitzpatrick interception, a late-hit penalty on Chop Robinson that set up Carolina’s go-ahead drive, and multiple punts from Miami’s offense during the comeback.
