From Panthers.com

  • Carolina won its first season opener since beating Dallas to start the 2018 season.
  • The Panthers' defense recorded six sacks, their most since a 2019 win in London over the Buccaneers.
  • The Panthers had eight passes defensed, tied for their most since that game in London.
  • After allowing opponents to convert nearly 50 percent of third downs last season, the Panthers held the Jets to 4-of-13 (30.8 percent) on third down.
  • Carolina held the Jets to 45 net rushing yards, marking the fifth time in the last nine games (dating to Week 11 in 2020) that the Panthers have held an opponent to fewer than 100 rush yards.
  • Carolina's 272 net yards in the first half were its second-most first half yards in a game dating back to 2015 (2020, Week 5 at Atlanta, 312).
  • The Panthers struggled in the red zone, converting just one touchdown on four tries.
  • After a 2020 season where Carolina went 3-8 in one-score games, the Panthers held on in the fourth quarter to win by 5.
  • This was the first time the Panthers have won a game with a final score of 19-14.
  • Quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 279 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for a score. It marked the seventh-most passing yards in his career and the fifth game where he recorded a rushing and passing touchdown. His 234 yards in the first half were the most he's ever thrown in the first two quarters.
  • Running back Christian McCaffrey had 30 touches for 187 scrimmage yards, including 98 yards on the ground and 89 through the air. He passed Walter Payton with his seventh career game with at least 75 rushing and 75 receiving yards. McCaffrey also passed Wesley Walls (324) to move into fourth place in franchise history with 329 career receptions.
  • Wide receiver Robby Anderson had a 57-yard touchdown catch, his 10th career receiving score over 40 yards. That's tied for second-most in the NFL since 2016.
  • Linebacker Shaq Thompson had a career day, making 10 tackles with an interception, a sack, a tackle for loss and three pass deflections. It was his second career interception and 10th career sack, but the first time he did both in the same game.
  • In his debut with Carolina, defensive end Haason Reddick had 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble, while fellow defensive end Brian Burns also had a sack.
  • In his first game with Carolina, kicker Ryan Santoso hit field goals of 22 and 29 yards, but missed an extra point.

This was great to see yesterday.

Also: 

Translation: 

Rookie CB Jaycee Horn gave up 1 catch for 10 yards on 3 targets in his NFL debut.

Horn also had 3 tackles, 2 of which were solo.

The one reception was a TD from WR Corey Davis on a beautiful pass from QB Zach Wilson:

I thought Horn played great for his first game in the NFL.  They didn't throw his way much at all, which leads me to believe he had his guy locked up most all game.  The TD he gave up was just a laser great throw by Wilson, still he was in great position and was a hair away from knocking it down.

I saw Reddick up in there man...if his 12.5 sacks from last year and then his performance last game is who he really is man we could have a steal there.

I know it took guys like Charles Johnson like 3 years to come into his own and be a 10+ sack a year guy...

That was scary. Like, damn. This kid is a talent and the Jets have let him get broken in half in his very first game.

I gotta be honest the guy looks like a pussy but clearly is quite the opposite. His strength/toughness to me was the most impressive part about him...we could have had 9 sacks but he got through a few of em

We got a 26 year old guy who was 3rd in the NFL in sacks last year and 1st in the NFL in forced fumbles for a prove it contract. I'm still stunned.

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
