Frank Reich revenge game? He won’t say that, but Panthers have his back vs. ex-team
New York TimesCHARLOTTE, N.C. — This week was supposed to be Round 2 of the rookie quarterback series for Bryce Young, who outplayed the Houston Texans’ C.J. “But my brother’s one of the most competitive people I’ve ever been around, like make-up-the-rules-in-the-middle-of-a-game kind of thing.” During card games or board games at Reich family gatherings, Joe said, Frank was notorious for switching things up midstream to improve his chances of winning — and then talking the rest of the crew into going along with it. “So he said, ‘OK, I’m gonna spend a little time with my wife, have a little bit of down time and then once I’m recharged, I’m gonna get back after it.’” “No doubt that was part of it,” Frank Reich added. He was a guy in the locker room that guys rallied around,” said Panthers safety Matthias Farley, who was on the Colts’ roster in 2018 during Reich’s first season as coach. He kind of just stays level-headed throughout everything.” Reich said he was “really, really” glad the Panthers made it through Tuesday’s trade deadline with Burns still on the roster.
