CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young lumbered his way to the podium earlier this week, taking short, slow steps. He showed no emotion, so you couldn't tell he was preparing for his first NFL playoff game any more than you could when he was benched last season.
Say what you want about Young's inconsistency in games, but he's consistent in everything he does before and after them.
Coach Dave Canales almost laughed on Thursday when asked if the top pick of the 2023 draft had done anything out of the ordinary preparing for Saturday's wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams (12-5), the first playoff appearance for Carolina (8-9) since 2017 and the first at Bank of America Stadium since 2015.
