ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers lose to Minnesota Vikings, 21-13
About this episode
The Carolina Panthers lose to the Minnesota Vikings, 21-13, as Bryce Young and the offense failed to score a touchdown while struggling with red zone execution. Dennis Cox & Chris Lea break down the loss, the lack of progression from head coach Frank Reich and Bryce Young with the offense, terrible clock management from Frank Reich, and the lack of a running game for Carolina. Chris & Dennis give credit to the Panthers secondary for limiting Kirk Cousins and the Vikings to only 12 completions, including a pick-6 by Sam Franklin Jr., but how the run defense for Carolina gave up 135 yards on the ground to a team that was 31st in the NFL in rushing yards per game. Plus, locker room interviews with RB Miles Sanders, and WR Adam Thielen.
