TEAM STATS

Head coach Ron Rivera recorded his 74th career win in the regular season, passing John Fox as Carolina's all-time wins leader as head coach.
The Panthers netted 445 yards, while allowing 507 yards to the Jaguars. It marked the first time in franchise history that Carolina allowed over 500 yards in a game and still won.
Carolina's defense caused three fumbles and recovered all three. It marked the fifth time in the Ron Rivera era that Carolina recovered three or more fumbles in a game. The team recorded its first defensive touchdown on the season on a fumble recovery in the second quarter. It marked the Panthers first fumble recovery TD since Week 5 of 2018 when Colin Jones recovered one on special teams.
As a result of the fumbles, the Panthers won the turnover battle 3-0. It marked Carolina's first turnover-free game of the season and the second time winning the turnover battle this year.
The Panthers rushed for 285 yards, a new season high and the most since they ran for 294 against the Dolphins in 2017.
Carolina became just the fifth team since 2010 with two touchdown runs over 50 yards in the same game.
After only allowing a league-best average of 156.8 net passing yards over the first four games, the Panthers gave up 358 net passing yards against Jacksonville.

PLAYER STATS

Panthers

Christian McCaffrey tied his own franchise record with his 237 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns. He set a new franchise record for longest rush with his 84-yard touchdown run, surpassing DeAngelo Williams' previous long of 77 yards.
McCaffrey joined Thurman Thomas as the only players in NFL history with over 500 rushing yards and 250 receiving yards in the first five games of a season.
He topped 2,000 career rushing yards with his 176-yard rushing day, becoming the eighth Panthers rusher with over 2,000 yards and the youngest to do so.
Kyle Allen became the first QB in the Super Bowl era to go 4-0 without an interception in his first four career starts. Allen became the first undrafted QB since Kurt Warner to win his first four career starts.
Reggie Bonnafon rushed for a career-high 80 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown run. He is the only player this year to rush for at least five carries and average 16.0 yards per carry with a TD in a game.
Luke Kuechly had a game-high 12 tackles and the game-sealing pass deflection on the last play. He now has over 1,000 career tackles, the only player in NFL history to do so in his first eight seasons.
Brian Burns had a strip-sack and fumble recovery for a touchdown, becoming the third rookie since 2000 to record a sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery for a touchdown in the same game.
James Bradberry recorded three pass deflections, bringing his season total to six which ties for second-most in the NFL.
