PANTHERS: The moment was too big for Bryce Young

According to ESPN NFL reporter Lindsey Thiry, Stafford gave wide receiver Davante Adams the absolutely coldest message before that go-ahead touchdown drive that won the game.

"Let's go snatch their hearts," Stafford apparently told Adams, per Thiry. Wow. That's absolutely ruthless.

Talk about unreal confidence from Stafford ahead of a huge career moment.

That should be a rallying cry for the Rams for the rest of the playoffs.
