The Carolina Panthers went into their Week 10 game against the New Orleans Saints as heavy favorites. Fans were expecting Dave Canales' squad to win comfortably and reach 6-4 on the season. What followed was an unmitigated disaster.
Carolina was second-best throughout its contest against the one-win Saints. The running game led by Rico Dowdle was neutralized, placing the onus squarely on quarterback Bryce Young to lead his team to victory. Unfortunately, he was unable to come through.
Young looked shaky, indecisive, and inaccurate. He was struggling to go through his reads effectively, and his throws downfield lacked any velocity.
