In the New York Jets’ seventh game of the 2025 season, on a warm, partly cloudy autumn afternoon in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Jets lost to the Carolina Panthers, 13 – 6.
The first half saw the Jets put up less than 100 yards of offense as they failed to score a first half touchdown for the sixth straight game. At the half the Panthers led 10 – 3. It was a relatively tight game, yet for this Jets offense a seven-point deficit looked mountainous.
The Jets opened the third quarter by giving up a big kickoff return, giving the Panthers great field position on the Jets 49 yard line to open the second half. The Panthers put together a short drive before kicking a short field goal, giving them a 13 – 3 lead early in the second half. For any other team the game was very much still in play
