CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Robby Anderson insisted all week there was no revenge factor in Sunday's season opener against the New York Jets.
But the two made their former team pay for moving on from them in the second quarter when Darnold completed a 57-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Anderson on a deep post route.
Anderson made it look easy, blowing past the safety in two-deep coverage.
It shouldn't have come as a surprise to the Jets. Anderson was Darnold's favorite target when they were together in 2018 and '19.
