How bad is it going for the Panthers? Andy Dalton won't start at QB this week after injuring his thumb in a traffic accident (thankfully, that was the worst injury anyone suffered in the mishap). But that means it's "Bryce Young Time" again for Carolina, which has no one excited after he was pulled in September following two wretched efforts (0 mTDP and 3 picks). Young is also 2-16 and 4-12-2 vs. the line in his 18 career starts. Even at full strength, this might not be the time for the Panthers to face the Broncos, surging with wins in four of five, and star CB Pat Surtain II expected back this week. Rookie QB Bo Nix is also improving by the week as the Broncs have moved into sole possession of second place in the AFC West. In case thinking the Panthers might catch Denver flat, remember they were outscored 73-13 across the two games Bryce started in September. Play Broncos
