The Jets running game was no help for Wilson, managing just 45 yards on 17 carries. New York was unable to recover an onside kick late in the fourth quarter, sealing a 19-14 win for the Panthers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019re going to get these opportunities all season,\u201d Jets head coach Robert Saleh <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nyjets\/status\/1437155530225631236\">said<\/a> after the loss. \u201cThis is a team that\u2019s got grit, it\u2019s a team that\u2019s got fight, it\u2019s a team that\u2019s got resolve. And it\u2019s a team that\u2019s going to show up in the fourth quarter, in one score games, and whether or not we can close the door and make these plays to win these football games is going to be the difference between whether we win or lose.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Former number three overall draft pick Sam Darnold \u2014 taken by the Jets in the 2018 draft \u2014 got his revenge against his old team, throwing for 279 yards and a touchdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While Darnold did lose a fumble deep in New York\u2019s territory, he didn\u2019t throw any interceptions on the day, a big issue in his time in a Jets uniform. Unsurprisingly, Christian McCaffrey carried the offensive load for Carolina, rushing for 98 yards on 21 carries while pulling down nine catches for 89 yards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To his credit, Darnold didn\u2019t point any fingers when asked about his time in New York as he prepared to play against his old team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI feel like, for me, every opportunity I\u2019ve found a way to kind of take advantage of,\u2019\u2019 Darnold <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/blog\/carolina-panthers\/post\/_\/id\/35284\/sam-darnold-focused-on-second-chance-with-panthers-not-week-1-revenge-versus-jets\"><span>told<\/span><\/a><span> ESPN.com. \u201cThe Jets was kind of the first time in my life that I got something \u2014 and that was taken away from me, for multiple reasons.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI definitely didn\u2019t play good enough in my stint there.
