Carolina Holds Off Jacksonville 16-10 For First Win Of The Season



CHARLOTTE - The Carolina Panthers slipped in the rain that pelted Bank of America in the second quarter Sunday, but they refused to let it rain on their parade, rallying for an 16-10 victory. The Jaguars took their first lead with no time left on the first-half clock, when a 39-yard run by Maurice Jones-Drew set up a 36-yard touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert to wide receiver Mike Thomas as time expired for a 10-5 lead. The rain relented in the second half, and eventually the sun came out from the Panthers' perspective. Olindo Mare pulled Carolina within 10-8 with a 32-yard field goal late in the third quarter, then the Panthers pulled it out just when time seemed to be running out.

CARRY ON
