The Carolina Panthers got their fourth victory of the season against the New York Jets in Week 7. It wasn't pretty by any stretch of the imagination. Still, Ejiro Evero's defense led the charge after quarterback Bryce Young left the game with a high ankle sprain that will reportedly keep him out this weekend versus the Buffalo Bills.
Evero's improving unit overwhelmed the Jets. They made quarterback Justin Fields look extremely uncomfortable in the pocket, and the front seven maintained their gap discipline to prevent him from using his dual-threat ability. Head coach Aaron Glenn had seen enough, benching him at halftime in favor of Tyrod Taylor.
