Bryce Young was right yesterday, insofar as the team’s perspective goes, that they need to win games by margins that can’t be overturned by a single, atrocious officiating error. “We should never be relying on Refs, or calls, or anything like that. It’s on us to go leave no doubt.,” he said during his postgame press conference. Unfortunately, doubt was about the only thing the Carolina Panthers left on the field in their 21-26 loss to the Denver Broncos yesterday.
13 penalties for 119 yards (a 69-yard differential) against the Panthers and a controversial, replay-assisted turnover in the end zone held one of the most injured teams in the league back from beating one of the most charmed teams in existence.
