The same DC who supervised a beat up defense that failed at historic levels is the same DC who, with a defense that still had the likes of Derrick Brown, Shaq Thompson, and Josey Jewell, gave up 47 points and nearly 200 yards rushing to a Saints team that finished with a 5-12 record and ranked 20th in the league in total offense. Keeping him is risky. Canales and Morgan are going to look really bad if the team is really close to taking a significant step forward next season, but they can't because Evero and his defense are holding the team back. Just hard to imagine that a guy can captain one one of the worst (and arguably the worst) defenses in NFL history and and be brought back for a third season.

Winning that coin toss was huge.

I saw this act at the end of the first half. Panthers use very little time, punt the ball to Atlanta, Falcons drive down the field and score right before the game ends.

A game winning drive by Young would be great way to end this season and to head into next year on a positive not.

The defense should be ashamed at how badly Robinson whipped them all the way downfield. That was a man versus boys.

Bryce Young, two timeouts, and :46 seconds remaining. We shall see.

Granted Robinson is great at breaking tackles, but the ineptitude of this bunch to make tackles is just mind boggling. It's been a season long problem.

Hard to believe this is the same QB that laid two huge eggs to start the season.

Blackshear has played well in limited action today. This is his second big run.

Lots of pressure on your offense to deliver on every possession when your defense is getting torched like this.

London making this second rate secondary look third rate.

Miles Sanders has improved his trade value a wee bit with this game. Bryce? Not so much.

Classless move by Peyton.

Young now 13-30. His rating is about 110 points lower than Carr's.

It's like the Panthers offense never practiced blitz recognition.
