Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble silenced the doubters on Sunday by finding the end zone for the first time since mid-October. The former Notre Dame standout hauled in a 10-yard pass from quarterback Bryce Young in the second quarter, cutting the deficit to 10-7 against the Denver Broncos. Although the Panthers ultimately fell 26-21, the touchdown marked a pivotal moment for Tremble, who had been held scoreless in his previous two outings.

Tremble’s performance on Sunday was efficient and decisive, as he finished with four receptions for 24 yards. This scoring play extends his season totals to 21 receptions for 179 yards and three touchdowns across eight games. His last score prior to this game came during a 25-14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 18, where he recorded two touchdowns. By breaking his recent scoring drought, Tremble reasserted himself as a reliable target in the red zone for the Panthers’ offense.
The former Fighting Irish standout continues to make an impact in the NFL, proving his worth beyond his collegiate accolades. While the loss to Denver stings, Tremble’s ability to finish drives provides a bright spot for a struggling Carolina team. As the season progresses, his consistency in the passing game will be crucial for the Panthers’ offensive success, offering a familiar face to Notre Dame fans watching their former star thrive on the professional stage.
