Carolina 34, Jacksonville 17
Bryce Young completed 5 of 6 passes for 49 yards and helped set up a touchdown as Carolina improved to 2-1 in preseason play.
On Friday night, quarterback Bryce Young led the Carolina Panthers to a 34-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing 5 of 6 passes for 49 yards and setting up a touchdown.
Carolina's first-team offense showed improvement after struggling last week against the Buffalo Bills, where the unit managed just 11 yards across three drives with no points.
Receiver Roc Taylor hauled in a 16-yard touchdown pass from Kenny Pickett late in the third quarter, while Jacksonville running back Ameer Abdullah recorded 82 total yards improving his roster chances.
With 2 minutes remaining, coaches agreed to end the contest after a lightning delay rather than wait the mandatory 30 minutes required to resume play.
Backup quarterback Nick Mullens performed well for Jacksonville, completing 6 of 7 passes for 65 yards, while the team held out starter Trevor Lawrence for the second straight week.
