Young rolled his ankle when a defender stepped on him late in the third quarter. Although he briefly stayed in the game, Carolina ruled him out for the remainder of the matchup. Andy Dalton replaced him as the Panthers held a 13-3 lead midway through the fourth.

The Panthers entered Week 7 on a two-game winning streak.

Young’s final snap came when New York defensive lineman Jowon Briggs brought him down for a sack. He connected with Xavier Legette on a 3-yard touchdown pass late in the first half, capping a 52-yard drive that gave Carolina a 10-3 edge.

Carolina’s defense controlled the pace and pressured the Jets into mistakes. The Panthers tallied four sacks and forced multiple turnovers.

Rookie linebacker Nick Scourton recorded his first career sack, dropping Tyrod Taylor on a third-and-short in the third quarter. Safety Tre’von Moehrig and defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson each got to Taylor before halftime.

Cornerback Jaycee Horn delivered the biggest play of the game. He intercepted Taylor’s deep pass to Allen Lazard in the end zone with 40 seconds left in the third quarter. The takeaway halted one of New York’s few promising drives.

The Jets entered the matchup as the league’s lone winless team at 0-6, returning home after a 13-11 defeat to Denver in London. Justin Fields was benched as the second quarter started to give the reins to Taylor.
