(CBS New York) – The New York Jets suffered multiple losses in Carolina on and off the scoreboard. During the team’s week one 19-14 defeat at the hands (and feet) of Sam Darnold and the Panthers, Gang Green sustained multiple injuries with none making fans hold their breathe more than the sight of 6’7″ 360+ pound left tackle Mekhi Becton being carted off the field.
After a dismal first half Jets’ fans finally had reason to rejoice when rookie QB Zach Wilson escaped the pocket and launched a 22-yard touchdown to Corey Davis, only to have the moment immediately soured by the realization that Becton was writhing in agony back behind the line of scrimmage.
