“It doesn’t change that,” Young said. “Obviously, I have be better. Obviously, you have things you want back. But it’s part of the game. It is what it is. It’s a long season. You can’t carry any of that over. You got to take from it, watch the film. We’ll go over this stuff, learn from it, correct it, and then after that, it resets. It’s one game. Obviously, it’s a lot of stuff that I need to do better, but it doesn’t change who I am. That’s just the mentality we all have.”
Moore turned in the 29th game in NFL history in which one player returned two interceptions for touchdowns.
Young had the 149th game in which one NFL player threw at least two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns, including four quarterbacks who had three.
Before Sunday, the most recent had been Young’s backup, Andy Dalton, who had two interceptions returned for touchdowns in the New Orleans Saints’ 42-34 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 20, 2022.
After the game, Reich was asked if he would consider starting the 13-year veteran over Young, who came to Carolina as the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft on April 27.
“I suppose that’s a fair question,” Reich said, “but I can honestly tell you that thought has never even come close to entering my mind.”
