Tight end Hayden Hurst, on the receiving end of the 4-yard toss, underhanded the ball into the stands after the catch.
The play came with 5:09 left in the first half of Sunday’s opener against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It tied the score at 7 and made Young the third quarterback in Carolina history to throw a touchdown pass in his debut, joining Cam Newton, who did it in 2011, and Chris Weinke (2001).
