Panthers react to their Week 1 victory over the Jets

Lighting up social media after a loss isn’t really a great look. But fortunately for the Carolina Panthers, they didn’t lose. Hit those phones, boys!

Here’s how some of your favorite Panthers celebrated, via the Twitter machine, their 19-14 Week 1 win over the New York Jets on Sunday.

Linebacker Jermaine Carter Jr. may be right. His fellow backer Shaq Thompson led the charge this afternoon, registering ten total tackles, a sack, an interception and three pass deflections.

And it’s safe to say that Shaq may agree with that sentiment.

Rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall, after his first pro game, and linebacker Haason Reddick, who had a sack and a half, gave some of the credit to their faith.

Offensive coordinator Joe Brady kept things simple.

Plus, for a bonus treat, we have a beautiful chorus serenading a couple of birthday boys in defensive end Morgan Fox and owner David Tepper.

2021 is off to a feel-good start for the franchise, one that’s still digging upwards in its rebuilding stage. So even though it wasn’t a perfect performance, this opening triumph is certainly worth getting hyped up about.
