For the Carolina Panthers it was 'Bryce Young and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day' as the rookie quarterback threw two pick-sixes that proved to be the difference in the teams, 27-13, loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Julian Council discusses why Young's day of struggles doesn't have to be anything more than a bad day at the office for the young QB.

While Young was having the worst afternoon of his professional career, CJ Stroud, the QB the Panthers passed up in favor of Young, was setting an NFL record for passing yards by a rookie QB. Julian details why the context of Stroud's performance makes it difficult to chalk up Young's day as "just a bad day".

Plus, a review of Julian's keys to victory as the Panthers defense once again had a solid outing without much help from the offensive unit.
