Pride Of Detroit on Bryce Young
From the article

STACKED’s take
Young's 43.5% pressure rate and tendency to throw deeper under duress creates Lions defensive opportunity.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young faces a critical matchup against the Lions pass rush. Young currently faces the second-highest pressure rate among qualifying quarterbacks at 43.5% with the fifth-quickest average time to pressure of 2.56 seconds. The Lions' defensive pass rush ranks in the top-10 in pressure rate at 39% with the second-quickest average time to pressure of 2.46 seconds. The Panthers offensive line is banged up with starting tackle Ikem Ekwonu on reserve/PUP, guard Damien Lewis not practicing with an elbow, and rookie first-round pick Monroe Freeling limited in practice in concussion protocol, so the Lions pass rush should have an advantage. Under pressure, Young's completion percentage sits at 49%, boosted by a 5.01% completion percentage over expected, but his air yards per attempt is 14.3 under pressure versus 7.8 when not pressured—a disparate pattern that the Lions can scheme against. The source notes this is a make-or-break opportunity for the Lions, who are in the top five in explosive passing plays allowed this season.
