After the Carolina Panthers' 30-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, head coach Dave Canales stood by his starting quarterback, Bryce Young, despite some very clear struggles on Sunday.

"Bryce will play next week," Canales told reporters after the loss, per The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye.

Young completed 19 of 28 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions and two fumbles while being sacked six times in the loss.

In his second NFL season, Young has thrown for 1,572 yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions, with a quarterback rating of 50.9.

Following the loss, Young took sole responsibility for the loss against the 6-9 Cowboys.

"I've got to be better. I let the team down today," Young told reporters post game. "It wasn't the play calls, I have to do better. We all as a unit, we all want to step up as a team and we want to execute better. I look in the mirror first and foremost."

The former Heisman winner was the No. 1 overall pick in 2023 but has since secured only four professional wins in the NFL over two seasons.

Young and veteran quarterback Andy Dalton have been rotating under center all season long. Dalton has started in five games this season, accumulating 989 yards with seven touchdowns and six interceptions.

Despite the two competing for the top position, with Dalton's minutes limited due to Young, he has been happy to see Young find his place in the NFL.

"When I was playing, [Bryce] wanted to be out there," Dalton said, according to ESPN's David Newton. "I would love to be out there, but it doesn't mean we're not supporting each other and want the best for each other... It's genuine.''

On the other end, Young has appreciated the support of the 14-year NFL veteran.

"We're buddies. That's genuinely my dawg," Young said, per Newton. "Outside of football, we've had a ton of conversations that have nothing to do with football. ... Just growing alongside him, it's easy... We both are always rooting for each other in life.''

Young and the Panthers will look to bounce back next Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals at home.
