The #CarolinaPanthers can clinch the NFC South this week. Will they? It could come down to Bryce Young and Ryan Fitzgerald…again.

And yes, I know there are audio issues. They didn’t show up in recording, but they showed up in the final file, so I had to get funky with the audio in order to make Lauren audible. Please bear with us.
