Green Bay just cranked up their lead to two possessions thanks to a 24-yard touchdown from wide receiver Matthew Golden. It came right after Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young tossed an interception, giving the Packers a golden opportunity they didn’t waste.
Touchdown Hero, Drop Zero
That 24-yard catch was Golden’s fourth touchdown this season, which is a huge turnaround after he didn’t log a single regular season touchdown throughout all of 2025. You’d think that’s all sunshine and rainbows, right? Well, pump the brakes. Just before that huge score, Golden actually dropped a touchdown. Yeah, seriously. Drops have been a real issue for him this year. He had three massive drops in Green Bay’s win against the Dallas Cowboys, and get this: he’s already racked up two drops in this very game against the Panthers. Talk about a roller coaster.
Panthers Can’t Get Out of Their Own Way
While Golden’s got his own head-scratchers, the Carolina Panthers’ offense is in a full-blown meltdown right now. They can’t seem to get anything going. Even when a turnover gifted them the ball deep in Packers territory, at the 29-yard line, they only managed to churn out eight yards before having to settle for a field goal. That’s just brutal. Since their touchdown on the first play of the second quarter, their last three drives have been an absolute nightmare: two punts and an interception. You just can’t win games like that.
The Panthers are clearly spiraling offensively, and Bryce Young’s interception that led to Golden’s touchdown is just another symptom of that bigger problem. They’ve got to find a way to spark some life on that side of the ball, or this game is going to get out of hand in a hurry.
