Alternate ending: How Panthers’ latest last-second L could have turned out differently

New York Times  

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The visiting locker room at Bank of America Stadium was nearly empty Sunday when Baker Mayfield limped toward his stall with a protective boot on his right foot. Asked about those who were ready to bury Young two games into his second season, Mayfield said: “Yeah, well, they were worried about the wrong people.” The Panthers look every week like they have a lot of the right people in place — from the front office to the coaching staff to the locker room. “On one of the angles — and there were not a lot of available angles and we didn’t have a shot to overturn it — as he is rolling over, you can see at least one hand come off the ball,” NFL vice president of instant replay Mark Butterworth told a pool reporter. “So with an on-field ruling of incomplete, we would have to show that he had control to award him a touchdown.” Butterworth said every NFL game has at least nine broadcast cameras, but there weren’t as many cameras at the Panthers-Bucs game as others. Thielen called the NFL’s explanation “absurd.” “They told me that my right hand came off the ball, which is crazy to me because the ball never moved.
