Former Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, traded to Carolina prior to the season, led the Panthers to an early lead over his former team, scoring two touchdowns including a 57-yard pass to former Jets teammate Robby Anderson. Two late touchdown passes by Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson were not enough for New York to come back and win.[34] For the third straight year, the Jets started the season 0–1. Tackle Mekhi Becton also suffered a knee injury during the game, and would later be put on injured reserve after opting for surgery.[35]
