The Carolina Panthers needed to bounce back emphatically against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. Things started on the front foot with a statement opening drive. However, it didn't take long for this momentum to come screeching to an abrupt halt.
This was thanks to quarterback Bryce Young leaving the game late in the first quarter due to injury. Carolina's offensive line suffered a severe miscommunication issue when it was clear as day that nickel cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. was coming on the blitz. He got a free run on the signal-caller, delivering a punishing hit that left him grimacing in pain.
