Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is set to make his playoff debut, joining a long list of quarterbacks who have struggled in their first postseason starts, including notable players like Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts. In a previous matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, Young excelled, completing 15 of 20 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns, although the Rams’ turnovers significantly impacted the game’s outcome. However, Carolina’s defense has been weak, forcing few third downs and relying on the Rams’ mistakes to secure a win. To succeed again, the Panthers will need favorable breaks while minimizing their own defensive shortcomings.
