The Carolina Panthers called the right play late in the first half Sunday. Jonathan Mingo ran a post route and was wide open for what would have been a touchdown.
And Bryce Young absolutely missed him. He overthrew him even as Mingo was as open as a receiver can be in that situation. The pass wasn't close either. If there's one play to sum up Young's rookie season, that was it.

The stat line for Young that flashed on the bottom lines of the other NFL games — it's not like much of the country was watching the one-win Panthers take on the New Orleans Saints — was hard to ignore.
