Panthers coach Ron Rivera

When asked if he considered taking Norman out of the game

“If they pulled Odell out, I would have pulled Josh out. But I wouldn’t have pulled Josh out. Josh has got a lot to learn to play through these things. He’s such a talented young man. He’s very emotional and he’s got to learn to maintain his composure and play through those types of situations.”

On escaping with a win after blowing a 28-point lead

“Very disappointed in ourselves. We had an opportunity to close a team out and we didn’t do it. Why? We didn’t keep our focus and maintain our composure.”
