The Carolina Panthers have broken a record that no team wants to hold. The Panthers allowed an unprecedented 534 points in the 2024 season, now the NFL record. Carolina beat the previous record of 533 points set by the Baltimore Colts in 1981.

Led by a career day from second-year quarterback Bryce Young, the Panthers upset the once-playoff-hopeful Atlanta Falcons for a walk-off 44-38 overtime victory this afternoon. Young notched a career-high five touchdowns—completing 25 of his 34 passing attempts for 251 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for another 24 yards and two scores.

The Panthers will have to wait for the result of the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders games to determine their draft spot.

Carolina is now 38 points away from setting a new NFL record for the most points allowed in a season. With one game to go, they sit 37 points behind (or ahead) of the 1981 Baltimore Colts—who relinquished 533 points.

The Carolina Panthers are moving on to better things. Following Sunday's overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons they're done with their 2024 schedule and will begin to focus on the 2025 campaign. There's a long road between now and then,
