NFL Wild Card Weekend: What Grade Do The Carolina Panthers Get? + 49ers Defeat Eagles

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the Panthers Wild Card weekend loss, the San Francisco 49ers win, tonight's Wild Card game and more.

The Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams played a dramatic Wild Card playoff game on Saturday, with the Rams pulling out a 34-31 win to advance. Los Angeles jumped out to an early 14-0 lead, but Carolina battled back. The Panthers briefly took a 31-27 lead late in the fourth quarter on a Bryce Young touchdown pass, but Stafford answered with a game-winning 19-yard touchdown throw with under a minute remaining. Despite a strong performance from Young and a resilient effort, Carolina could not mount a final response, ending their season in a close, heartbreaking loss. Is Bryce Young the quarterback of the future for the Panthers? How do we grade the Panthers? What grade do we give Dave Canales and the Panthers?

The Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers faced off yesterday in the NFC Wild Card round, with San Francisco coming away with a 23-19 win to end Philadelphia’s season. With the victory, the 49ers advanced to the NFC Divisional Round where they will play the Seattle Seahawks. Is Brock Purdy better than Jayden Daniels? Will Daniels end up being a bust?

It’s the final game of Wild Card Weekend? The (12-5) Houston Texans are visiting Aaron Rodgers and the (10-7) Pittsburgh Steelers tonight in the AFC Wild Card round in a game that will decide who advances to the Divisional Round. Who will win?
