Panthers Turn the Tables on Jaguars
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars opened their 2025 season with a 26-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. But Friday night, Carolina returned to Jacksonville and changed the outcome. In the second week of the 2026 NFL preseason, the Panthers defeated the Jaguars, 34-17. Carolina took control early and carried a 20-6 lead into halftime. The Panthers finished the game with 385 total yards and held Jacksonville to 318. The victory gives Carolina a different result in Jacksonville than the teams’ previous meeting. The Panthers will now turn their attention to the remainder of the preseason as they prepare for the 2026 regular season. For Jacksonville, the 34-17 loss is another preseason test as the Jaguars continue preparing for the season ahead.
