Remember when the consensus was that the NFC South is once again a brutal division this year?
Well, now the division has three teams with a winning record after Carolina (4-3) punched out the winless Jets this afternoon in New Jersey.
Joe struggled through the game, a 13-6 Panthers victory. It really wasn’t that close. The Jets were brutal. (Joe’s notes to file away include revived stud Panthers nose tackle Derrick Brown batting down three passes.)
Panthers QB Bryce Young left the game late in the second half with a messed up ankle. Of course, the Panthers have backup QB Andy Dalton, who is the perfect quarterback if you want to win 40 percent of your games.
Carolina (4-3) is now on a three-game winning streak with Buffalo next week. Atlanta (3-2) is at San Francisco tonight.
