Game Highlights
The Panthers demonstrated remarkable depth during the game. They faced a unique challenge with their sixth different offensive line in seven games. Additionally, they split the running back duties between Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle. This depth was crucial, especially when quarterback Bryce Young exited the game due to an ankle injury.

Young had to leave the field after taking his first sack in the third quarter. He walked slowly to the locker room, assisted by two medical staff members, and did not return. Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton stepped in and played a pivotal role, guiding the team to secure the victory.

Key Players
Xavier Legette was a standout performer, finishing the game with nine receptions for 92 yards and scoring the team’s only touchdown. Late in the game, Dalton connected with Legette for a vital 33-yard gain, allowing the Panthers to control the clock and close out the game effectively.
This win against the Jets shows that the Panthers are proving to be a resilient team this season. With their depth and strong defense, they are positioned to continue their winning ways in the upcoming games.
