The New York Jets‘ defense put forth a scorching effort during a sweltering first half in Charlotte, pacing a 13-0 shutout against the Carolina Panthers in their second preseason game. Carolina did not put up a play of double-figure yardage until the very last snap of the first half-hour.
New York held a Carolina group playing most of its starters for an extended period to 32 yards of offense while Zach Wilson played the entire first half and found Kenny Yeboah for a touchdown in the final minute, complimenting two Greg Zuerlien field goals to create the lead.
