Rapid Reactions: Late rally in New York falls short in 21-19 loss to the Giants.

But the play of the first defense created some concerns early. https://t.co/K0O7gEb0Yy

Jake Luton to Gary Jennings touchdown.

Giants lead has been cut to 21-19.

QB Jake Luton in the game.

Matt Corral finishes 9-of-13 for 71 yards (82.5 rating).

OLB Kobe Jones penetrates for a fourth-down stop. He's among the young guys who have shown flashes this preseason.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2023

Corral's two-point conversion attempt pass was a little too hot for Josh Vann to handle.

Giants 21-12 with 13:37 left in the fourth quarter.

Raheem Blackshear with the first touchdown of the preseason for the Panthers.

Solid drive for this group, with Corral setting up the score with a 27-yard pass to Shi Smith.

Congratulations to all the preseason fantasy players who were on Blackshear early.

Panthers attempt a two-point conversion after their first touchdown of the preseason and don't get it.

The mobile Matt Corral, scrambles for 13 and a first down to end the third quarter.

He's 8-of-12 for 44 yards passing.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2023

Sam Franklin breaks up a fourth-down pass.

He's made a couple of plays on defense, in addition to his day job as a special teamer.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2023

OK, Matthew Wright with a 53-yard field goal.

Makes it 21-6 with 7:45 left in the third.

I mean, I guess Raequan Williams is playing well tonight. That's something.

But trailing 21-3 at the half was not what the Panthers were looking for here.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2023

It was a smoother operation than last week, at least.

Long, clock-chewing drives are a good thing, not a bad thing.

Still plenty to work on, offensively. https://t.co/Zh1yIjfj91
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2023

Matt Corral and the backup offense is out there. That second drive was long, and Bryce Young's day will be done after leading his first scoring drive here.

3-of-6 for 35 yards, no TDs, no INTs, one sack.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 19, 2023

Second defense on the field for the Panthers midway through the second quarter.

They bounced back well after allowing the easy early touchdown drive by Daniel Jones, but that three-and-out was against the Giants' twos.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 18, 2023

Panthers get a 37-yard Matthew Wright field goal out of a long drive (15-62, 10:21).

Less satisfying than it ordinarily would have been, considering the sack past Ekwonu and the penalty on Zavala.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 18, 2023

Bryce Young sacked for a loss of 7 yards. Kayvon Thibodeaux ran around the left side, blew right around Ikem Ekwonu, though there may have been a miscommunication somewhere
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 18, 2023

End of the first quarter, the Panthers have been driving for over 7 minutes and are at the Giants' 12-yard line. First-and-10 once we resume.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 18, 2023

Bryce Young is old enough to get that call.

First down on a Dexter Lawrence roughing the passer for a smack to the head.

Young with a couple of nice plays from his receivers. Mingo bounces off contact, for a 15-yard gain, and then Thielen gets to the sticks for a third-down conversion.

Looks more polished than what we saw last week.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 18, 2023

Panthers with a first down, with a couple of nice Chuba Hubbard runs.

He's played well in Miles Sanders' absence.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 18, 2023

Chuba Hubbard with back-to-back runs of 6 and 7 yards, earns the Panthers a first down against the Giants.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 18, 2023

Frankie Luvu pressures Jones, defense bounces back with a three-and-out.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 18, 2023

Three-and-out for the Panthers, despite a 5-yard penalty against the Giants and what looked like a good throw from Bryce Young on third down. Jonathan Mingo seemed to ease up on the route.

Punt, ball back to the Giants.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 18, 2023

Bryce's third-down pass incomplete. Effectively a three-and-out after the Giants gifted them 5 yards with a penalty on first down.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 18, 2023

When Bryce Young warms up, he has DJ Chark catching for him 20 yards away.

Chark laterals to Josh McCown, who fires it back to an equipment assistant who feeds it back to Young.

Good arm.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 18, 2023

Daniel Jones not very hospitable to his hometown team.

Drives the length of the field (10 plays, 75 yards, 4:55), fairly crisply for a touchdown, Gano XP makes it 7-0 for the Giants.

Bryce time.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 18, 2023

Panthers won the toss, elected to defer to the second half. Giants offense first.

Let's preseason.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 18, 2023

For what it's worth, Raequan Williams started at NT in the base defense, with Shy Tuttle and DeShawn Williams on either side of him.

Derrick Brown has the night off.

Gross-Matos and Barno were your starting OLBs.

New DB Collin Duncan will wear 39, if you’re scoring at home.

Or even if you’re alone, I guess.

White jerseys, white britches tonight, as modeled by JJ Jansen.

Kicker Matthew Wright beat him out to warm up again tonight, but I’m committed to this bit and decided not to deviate from tradition. pic.twitter.com/uj5UkCLvQ7
