Sam Darnold finishes with a passer rating of 102.0.

He had a passer rating of at least 100.0 in just seven of 38 starts with the Jets.

Panthers will be 1-0 for the first time since 2018.

Christian McCaffrey makes the smart football play, after making the good football play. Nice for the Panthers to have him back. 187 yards on 30 touches.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
Among those on the Panthers’ hands team: Christian McCaffrey, DJ Moore, Robby Anderson, Donte Jackson, Jaycee Horn, Jeremy Chinn

— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) September 12, 2021
Panthers gained more yards on their first four plays of this quarter (30) than they did in the third (28). Important drive here, obviously.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
Elflein’s back in at LG, and DJ Moore runs for a first down to keep the chains (and clock) moving.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
Third quarter: Panthers gained 28 yards. Sam Darnold was 2/7 for 18 yards and was hit 5 times.

End of Q3:
— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) September 12, 2021
Panthers - 16
Jets - 8#KeepPounding
This does not feel like a one-score game. Alas …
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
Becton doubtful to return for the Jets.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
Meanwhile, Panthers RG Pat Elflein just walked to the sideline, replaced by Trent Scott (who has subbed in at both guard spots today).
Zach Wilson scores the two-point conversion, and the Jets cut the lead in half.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
Panthers 16-8 with 1:25 left in the third.
And there goes the shutout, as Zach Wilson finds an oddly wide open Corey Davis in the corner of the end zone.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
But Jets LT Mekhi Becton is down on the play, which is only going to make their protection problems worse.
Dennis Daley’s back on the field at RG after getting his head patched up on the sideline.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
Myles Hartsfield will not return with that wrist injury.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
Four sacks and four TFLs for this defense
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) September 12, 2021
Jets had 3 QB hits in the first half. They have 3 QB hits already this half.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
Nickel Myles Hartsfield questionable to return with a wrist.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
He was replacing AJ Bouye there, so they’re going to need to adjust if he doesn’t come back.
After that Hubbard reception, 7 different players now have catches for Carolina.

But Darnold’s 17-of-22 for 234 yards, a touchdown pass and a touchdown run, McCaffrey’s got 124 yards from scrimmage, and they have three sacks, five QB hits, an interception, and a forced fumble.
I’ve seen worse.

Fumble on fourth and 1. Darnold appeared to hit FB Giovanni Ricci in the butt with it on its way to McCaffrey.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
DJ Moore recovered nicely after the drop, with gains of 26 and 27.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
Gorgeous ball from Sam Darnold, who was gonna get hit, to DJ Moore for a gain of 26.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
The Panthers are moving the ball a little, and they’re pressuring Zach Wilson at a pretty good clip.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
And yet, it remains 0-0.
End of Q1:

and now Ammendola boots a punt of 66. sheesh. https://t.co/g6Xr3O7JrA

Matt Ammendola has punts of 50 and 46 yards. Not bad in an emergency role.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
Well … what you’ll learn when CBS comes back from break is there was an illegal formation, so Jets are gonna have to punt again.
Not by the hair on his chinny chinny chinn!
— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) September 12, 2021
Panthers blitz Jeremy Chinn on second down. Chinn then on pass defense way downfield on third. He’s diverse if you can’t tell.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
Christian McCaffrey was not in for first snap of second drive. Nothing wrong with him, Panthers just trying to do what they haven’t done in previous seasons.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
Jets with 4 net yards after first two drives.

DJ Moore …
Man, the NFL is so great.

They let DJ Moore return a punt, in a non-emergency situation.

Panthers making Jets punt again after a Jets hold … but Jets punter Braden Mann was hurt, so WR Matt Ammendola is punting.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
Shaq Thompson about 25 yards down field to break up third-down pass.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
Brian Burns just misses another one, But Wilson was able to get away and huck one downfield, incomplete.

Holding on Elflein wipes out another McCaffrey first down. He touched it the first three snaps.

1 play
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) September 12, 2021
1 touch for Christian McCaffrey
1 first down
And a quick pass to 22 for an 11-yard gain. That seems like a trend.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
OK, so they put two TEs and McCaffrey out there on first down.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) September 12, 2021
