The Carolina Panthers missed quite a few opportunities in Sunday's painful overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . So who, according to Pro Football Focus, missed (and hit) their marks on the outing?
Here are the best and worst grades from the 26-23 defeat :
1. LG Damien Lewis : 90.02. QB Bryce Young : 79.23. WR Adam Thielen : 72.54. LT Ikem Ekwonu : 71.65. RB Jonathon Brooks : 69.5
Lewis' 90.0 overall offensive grade is his highest as a Panther, as were his marks in pass blocking (86.5) and run blocking (91.9). He allowed zero pressures in 50 pass-blocking opportunities.
Young's 79.2 was his third-highest overall offensive grade in a start. He recorded a season-high 298 passing yards, one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown.

1. CB Chau Smith-Wade : 89.72. OLB DJ Johnson : 78.63. OLB Amaré Barno: 74.74. CB Jaycee Horn : 69.05. S Xavier Woods: 66.1
