One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.

It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.

> All signs point toward Bryce Young being the future in Carolina, but if King keeps this play up, he could force his way onto the 53-man roster.
