Overreactions, big questions off NFL wild-card games: Did the Panthers expose issues for the Rams?
""Bryce Young is going to get a top-10 QB contract this offseason." Overreaction? Yes, overreaction. Look, massive respect to Young and the Panthers here. The Rams won, but Carolina made all of us who thought it could pull off an upset look good. Young was fearless and fun and everything teams want their quarterbacks to be in big moments. He was 21-for-40 for 264 yards and a touchdown pass, and he also ran for a touchdown."
"The NFL playoffs are officially underway, with the Rams just narrowly edging the Panthers to kick off the action. Next up is Packers-Bears on Saturday night. What are the main lessons and takeaways from each wild-card matchup, and what's next for these teams? We asked national NFL reporter Dan Graziano and NFL analyst Ben Solak to help size up every matchup from the opening round and look forward from all angles."
The NFL playoffs opened with the Los Angeles Rams narrowly defeating the Carolina Panthers. Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young delivered a fearless performance, completing 21 of 40 passes for 264 yards, throwing a touchdown and rushing for another, and he connected with Jalen Coker for a go-ahead touchdown with 2:39 remaining. Carolina's defense then shifted into prevent coverage and allowed the Rams to march for the winning score. Young's poise and big-play ability emerged in a high-pressure environment, but his single-game showing does not by itself justify projecting a top-10 quarterback contract this offseason.
