Bryce Young Leads Panthers to Upset Victory Over Jets
The Carolina Panthers are showing they are a force to be reckoned with this season, earning their third straight win with a decisive victory over the struggling New York Jets.
Dominant Ground Game Powers Panthers
Rookie quarterback Bryce Young continued his impressive start, throwing for 199 yards and 3 touchdowns. But it was the Panthers' punishing ground attack that truly paved the way to victory. Running back Rico Dowdle rumbled for 183 yards and a score on 30 carries, wearing down the Jets' defense.
Panthers Defense Steps Up
After a dismal 2024 campaign, the Panthers' defense has turned things around under new coordinator Dave Canales. They held the Jets' offense in check, limiting them to just 11 points. Standout performances from the defensive line and secondary kept Jets quarterback Zach Wilson uncomfortable all game.
Momentum Builds for Surging Panthers
At 3-3, the Panthers have already matched their win total from last season. With Young continuing to develop and the defense rounding into form, this team is quickly establishing itself as a threat in the NFC South. If they can sustain this level of play, the Panthers could find themselves in the playoff mix come December.
