In a game that saw the Jets and the Panthers play four quarterbacks, points were hard to come by on both sides as Carolina escaped MetLife Stadium with a 13-6 victory on Sunday. The Jets fell to 0-7 while the Panthers moved to 4-3 with their third consecutive win.

The Jets turned to backup QB Tyrod Taylor in the second half. With the Jets facing a 13-3 deficit, Taylor entered with 10:36 remaining in the third quarter. HC Aaron Glenn decided to make the QB change after Justin Fields went 6 of 12 in the first half for 46 yards and was sacked 3 times.

Backup Andy Dalton finished the game for the Panthers after Bryce Young exited with an ankle injury in the third quarter.

After the game, Glenn was non-committal on whom will start for the Jets next week in Cincinnati against the Bengals.

“I understand the nature of the quarterback change,” Glenn said. “We needed a spark. At that time, I felt like it was the right time to do it. Obviously, a tough situation for both of those guys. But it was my call and I felt like it was the right time to do it.”

The Denver Broncos won a defensive slugfest 13-11 in London on Sunday to leave the New York Jets as still the only winless team in the NFL.

Denver quarterback Bo Nix threw the only touchdown of the game at the end of the first quarter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the team’s defense sacked Jets QB Justin Field nine times in an affair which lacked offensive firepower – the nine sacks on Fields was the same number as the amount of successful pass attempts he had during the whole game.

The Jets did attempt to make a late comeback but a sack on fourth down in the final two minutes cemented the continuation of New York’s winless start to the season, with head coach Aaron Glenn searching for his first win in the position.

New York now slips to 0-6 after another poor offensive outing – Fields had 45 passing yards while running back Breece Hall had 59 yards on the ground. 

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart piloted the New York Giants to a 34-17 NFL victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, handing the reigning Super Bowl champions a second straight NFL defeat.

Dart, making his third NFL start after taking over from struggling veteran Russell Wilson, threw for one touchdown and ran for another and rookie running back Cam Skattebo rushed for 98 yards and three TDs as the Giants pulled away for just their second victory of the season in the NFC East division clash at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The Eagles had been aiming to regroup after seeing their four-game winning streak to start the season end with a 27-17 loss to Denver on Sunday.

After a back and forth first half, Philadelphia turned the ball over twice as they failed to score after the break.

The Giants scored touchdowns on three of four possessions and gained 198 yards in the first half and Skattebo powered into the end zone early in the third.
