Sunday’s first half between the Carolina Panthers and the Houston Texans didn’t give us the most explosive 30 minutes of offense you’ll see. But what you may have seen was one of the craziest plays of the young season.
Early in the second quarter, quarterback Bryce Young was somehow able to evade pressure, somehow able to throw across his body and somehow able to find wide receiver Adam Thielen—who somehow reeled in this amazing 31-yard catch:

Unfortunately, the big play did not yield any points—as the Panthers turned the ball over on downs a few snaps later. It did, however, yield these reactions from the fans:
Bryce and thielen 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Damn I hate that didn’t result in points, that long throw Bryce completed to Thielen was money.
