How the Locals were Looking Sunday in the NFL….
The Carolina Panthers closed out their season on a very “High Note”, with their 44-38 Win in Overtime, over the Atlanta Falcons…Panthers’ QB Bryce Young with 3 TD passes, and Young also ran for two touchdowns…Five TDs on the day for Young, but maybe equally impressive for Young was his 0 Interceptions, and NO Sacks of Young, by the Falcon defense…It does appear that it might be coming to fruition/reality, and with the most recent improvement that we have seen, “The Carolina Panthers Have Found Their Quarterback For The Future”…..Let’s all knock on wood, and hope what we have seen from Young, is going to be a long-lasting positive impression….
