Tetairoa McMillan posted a career-best performance for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday night, catching 14 passes for 192 yards and scoring two touchdowns as the team beat the Detroit Lions 32-26. The 32-yard second-quarter score and a 10-yard third-quarter touchdown were part of a string of key receptions, including an 18-yard catch on third-and-14 late in the fourth quarter that helped sustain a drive.
Quarterback Bryce Young completed 29 of 41 passes for 329 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. Running back Chuba Hubbard contributed 122 rushing yards on 20 carries, also scoring twice. Detroit quarterback Jared Goff threw for 412 yards and one touchdown, but the Panthers' defense forced two turnovers on downs in the final minutes to preserve the lead.
Panthers rookie right tackle Monroe Freeling left the game with a knee injury and did not return, while edge rusher Jaelan Phillips exited with a hamstring issue. Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin also left with a hamstring injury. The Panthers improve to 2-2 and will have a bye in Week 5 before facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Detroit, also 2-2, heads to Arizona to play the Cardinals in Week 4.
