Carolina has infamously been on a back-and-forth ride this season, with no streak of any kind since Week 7, from which point the club has gone win-loss, etc., the pendulum swinging each week. But each win has reinforced their belief in what they are capable of achieving. That is what is carrying them into a game that can end with a division title on Saturday.

“Business as usual, but also urgency to get it done,” revealed Robinson. “It’s no casual look about this or anything. This is win-or-go-home, so it’s business. We take it as it is.

“It’s amazing, you know, you want this. I’ve been on teams in my career where you go home early, and you’re not really, you’re just trying to make sure you do everything right, and you finish out the year. But this is what you thrive for: December football, best time of the year.”
