The Carolina Panthers have a date with destiny. They are in the playoffs for the first time since 2017, but if they want to secure a phenomenal upset over the Los Angeles Rams, quarterback Bryce Young must come through with the goods.
Young's made progress this season. The consistency isn't quite where it needs to be just yet, but the trajectory is pointing up. Making a statement versus the Rams with everything on the line could silence his critics for good, and having Pro Bowl right guard Robert Hunt back in the fold should give the former Alabama star more time in the pocket to make the correct reads.
