Saints will neutralize Bryce Young for one obvious reason
The New Orleans Saints host the Carolina Panthers this Sunday, in a matchup that will determine who the top team in the NFC South is. The Saints' primary concern this weekend is to make Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, who is fourth in the NFL in passing yards per game hold the ball, take away his downfield throws, and put pressure on him.
The Panthers team captain was in MVP conversations this season, with 1,549 yards through the first five games. However, opposing defenses have started to figure out how to counterattack Young, causing his average yards per game to slip 35 yards from 309.8 to 274.6. Now it's just Brandon Staley's turn to see if he can get his unit doing the same thing.
