The Panthers, trailing 27-13 at the time, opted for the conversion instead of kicking for an extra point. Despite the failed attempt, the Panthers proceeded to lose the game 27-19. Head coach Dave Canales addressed the decision, emphasizing confidence in the play design, but acknowledged the competition from the Packers' defense which pressured Young significantly throughout the night.
