After a 21-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Carolina has one of the NFL’s two winless records, and Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young seemed to feel the weight of all four losses during a subdued postgame press conference.

“Haven’t won yet,” Young said. “It’s not a great feeling to put our heart and soul into stuff and when you don’t get the result, it’s not great. …

“No one’s going to feel sorry for us, and it doesn’t do us any good to feel sorry for ourselves. It’s not a good feeling. We all feel that. We all share that. We all own it. Right now, it is what it is. Tomorrow, we’ll be back trying to improve, trying to change that outcome and do what we can do. But it’s not a great feeling.”

Carolina coach Frank Reich isn’t any happier about the Panthers’ 0-4 record, but he offered some hope in his postgame press conference.

“I believe in some ways we’re getting better,” Reich said. “In other ways, we still have a long ways to go. I feel like we’ve been in every one of these games in the fourth quarter and had an opportunity to win every one in the fourth quarter, so I really don’t think we’re that far away. In some respects, I feel like we’re close. In other respects, I feel like we got a long way to go coaching and playing to get it right.”

Carolina took a 10-0 lead on Sunday. But a touchdown pass on the final play of the third quarter had Minnesota on top 21-13 entering the final period.

The Panthers had two possessions in the fourth quarter.

A three-first-down drive got Carolina as far as the Minnesota 35-yard line, where Vikings linebacker Marcus Davenport sacked Young for a 9-yard loss. The Panthers punted with 8:49 to play.

After a three-and-out by Minnesota, Carolina got the football at its 26 with 7:20 left. Young completed all five of his passes for 47 yards as the Panthers moved to a first-and-goal at the Minnesota 9-yard line.

An incompletion, a sack by Vikings safety Harrison Smith, an incompletion and another sack by Smith ended Carolina’s chances with 57 seconds remaining.

“Just frustrated with myself,” Young said. “Definitely stuff that I want back.”

Smith registered three of Minnesota’s five sacks on Sunday.

Carolina had a 13-7 lead and a first down at the Minnesota 21-yard line with 5:22 left in the third quarter when an ineligible-receiver-downfield penalty nullified a 13-yard completion. On the next snap, running back Miles Sanders lost 2 yards, and then Smith recorded his first sack.

Smith caused Young to fumble on the play, and Minnesota linebacker D.J. Wonnum picked up the football and ran 51 yards for a touchdown as the Vikings took the lead with 3:58 left in the third quarter.

“Turning the ball over is something we talk about a lot,” Young said. “That was a huge, huge, huge swing in the game. And again, that’s solely, single-handedly on me.”

Young completed 25-of-32 passes for 204 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions and ran twice for 10 yards as the former Alabama All-American returned from missing one game because of an ankle injury.

The No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft on April 27, Young completed 20-of-38 passes for 146 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and ran for 17 yards on three carries in a 24-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 10 in his debut.

In a 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 18, Young completed 22-of-33 passes for 153 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and ran for 34 yards on three carries.

An ankle injury sustained against the Saints kept Young off the field for Carolina’s 37-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 24, when Andy Dalton stepped in at quarterback.

“Bryce is progressing,” Reich said. “He’s getting better. I’m excited about that. We all have to continue to get a lot better. No one is satisfied with progress and not results. We want progress, but at the end of the day, we understand we’re in a results business. Just because we drafted a quarterback No. 1, we’re not sitting here saying, ‘Well, we’ll just build into the future.’ We’re here to win right now.

“We understand that progress is important. We understand that building is important. You got to have the maturity to realize that all those things can go together, so that’s what we’ll do.”

The Panthers play the Detroit Lions at noon CDT Sunday at Ford Field in Detroit.

“We have to flip the page and grow and learn from it eventually,” Young said after Sunday’s game. “You know, it’s tough right now. We all care a lot and we’re all passionate. There’s multiple things that I could have done better, I got to improve on and keep getting better at.

“All I can do now is put my head down and try to keep working.”
