How do Bryce Young and his receivers bounce back?
In Week 11, Bryce Young had the game of his life, and for that matter, the game of any Panthers’ quarterback of all time, throwing for a franchise record 448 yards as the Panthers beat the Falcons.
Then, against the 49ers, the offense stuttered to a halt, never able to get the run or pass game going and running a mere 43 plays for 230 total yards. Sunday, even against a Rams defense that is holding teams to 208.5 passing yards per game, is a day to respond.
“It just boils down to execution,” said Young this week. “Obviously, it goes week to week; you’ve got to be able to turn the page, whether it’s good or bad. We have all the guys in there with the right mindset. It’s just execution.
“I think, first, just growing that identity, all of us, especially as a younger unit. But now everyone’s pros, everyone’s embraced it, there’s no excuse for us not to be consistent, so that’s just the challenge for us. At the end of the day, we want to do whatever it takes to win. Obviously pass game helps out the run game, helps out the explosives, helps out the team, so we’re working to be more consistent there.”
