The Panthers take the lead at halftime but lose Miles Sanders to injury

The Panthers got off to a strong start in the first half today in Germany, while the Giants looked like they were sleeping it off.

Carolina jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead, with quarterback Bryce Young and running back Chuba Hubbard both playing well and the Panthers' offense outplaying the Giants' defense.

The Giants' offense, meanwhile, was a mess, as Daniel Jones could barely get anything going and Brian Daboll didn't trust his offense enough to attack it on fourth down, kicking in several situations when the analysis would have suggested he would. The Giants actually pushed deep into Panthers territory at one point, but Jones' pass was tipped by Jadeveon Clowney and intercepted by Xavier Woods.

The bad news for the Panthers was that running back Miles Sanders was carted off the field with a foot/ankle injury. But the Panthers' offense was fine. The Giants offense was anything but good.
