Ron Rivera on a message to the fans now: “the biggest message is we need you all. … We’re playing the division leader twice; this is the first one. We need all hands on deck… let’s roll.”

Rivera said a key to the D was how well they disguised. Definite times you could see the late rotation, or after the snap to change looks. But he felt LVR took advantage of some of the holes in those coverages.

Cole Holcomb on Taylor Heinicke: “I love that dude. Man, Heinicke he’s a low baller. He’s a grinder. Doesn’t matter what happens, he goes out there and slings it. If he throws a pick, he shakes it off and let’s go.”
