3rd Quarter Meltdown Squandered Panthers Momentum

Up 16 points at the half and getting the ball to start the third quarter, it looked like Carolina was on the precipice of blowing out the New York Jets. However, Carolina’s first play to start the quarter was an errant pass that showed neither Sam Darnold nor Robby Anderson were on the same page. The rest of the quarter be a story of 3 and outs, missed opportunities, and kerfuffles for the Panthers that equated to a mere 24 yards of total offense. Carolina’s 3rd-quarter offensive miscues led to the Jets’ first points mainly because their up-tempo offense capitalized on a quickly tiring Panthers defense.
