TEAM STATS

  • Head coach Ron Rivera recorded his 74th career win in the regular season, passing John Fox as Carolina's all-time wins leader as head coach.
  • The Panthers netted 445 yards, while allowing 507 yards to the Jaguars. It marked the first time in franchise history that Carolina allowed over 500 yards in a game and still won.
  • Carolina's defense caused three fumbles and recovered all three. It marked the fifth time in the Ron Rivera era that Carolina recovered three or more fumbles in a game.

It marked the Panthers first fumble recovery TD since Week 5 of 2018 when Colin Jones recovered one on special teams.
  • As a result of the fumbles, the Panthers won the turnover battle 3-0. It marked Carolina's first turnover-free game of the season and the second time winning the turnover battle this year.

  • Carolina became just the fifth team since 2010 with two touchdown runs over 50 yards in the same game.
  • After only allowing a league-best average of 156.8 net passing yards over the first four games, the Panthers gave up 358 net passing yards against Jacksonville.
