Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young set the wrong kind of record on Sunday.
Young and the Panthers were blown out 26-3 by the Los Angeles Chargers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. Young completed 18 passes, but he could not get the ball down field. Those 18 completions only resulted in 84 yards, which is an NFL record.
No quarterback in NFL history has ever completed more passes without eclipsing the 100-yard mark.
Bryce Young completed 18 passes. For 84 yards.
That is an NFL single-game record. Most completions in history for under 100 passing yards.

Mike Glennon, Tua Tagovailoa, Sam Bradford and Jeff George all had 17 completions in a game without surpassing 100 yards. Young now stands alone with his 18 completions, according to StatMuse.
Young has now gone 31/56 for 245 yards, no touchdowns and 3 interceptions across two games. The former Alabama star had just just 2,877 yards, 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 16 games last season.
Panthers head coach Dave Canales sent a clear message about Young’s status as a starter after last week’s blowout loss, but it is fair to wonder how long Carolina can stick with the former No. 1 overall pick if their offense continues to look completely anemic.
