NFL Fans Are Destroying Bryce Young For “Pulling A Cam Newton” During Critical Play vs. Buccaneers [VIDEO]

NFL fans are destroying Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young for pulling a Cam Newton during Saturday’s pivotal clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Young and the Panthers came into Tampa needing a win or a tie to clinch their first NFC South division title since 2015. But Carolina’s offense struggled mightily throughout the wet conditions at Raymond James Stadium, turning the ball over twice.

Trailing by nine points in the fourth quarter, Carolina lost a fumble in Tampa territory on a botched handoff. Worse yet, Young didn’t put in much of an effort to recover the fumble, drawing comparisons to Cam Newton in Super Bowl 50.

FUMBLE! The @Buccaneers jump on the loose ball 😤

The Panthers fell 16-14 in a mistake-filled affair, meaning they need an Atlanta Falcons victory over the New Orleans Saints to win the NFC South. Otherwise, Carolina’s playoff drought extends to eight seasons.
