In a game that saw the Jets and the Panthers play four quarterbacks, points were hard to come by on both sides as Carolina escaped MetLife Stadium with a 13-6 victory on Sunday. The Jets fell to 0-7 while the Panthers moved to 4-3 with their third consecutive win.

The Jets turned to backup QB Tyrod Taylor in the second half. With the Jets facing a 13-3 deficit, Taylor entered with 10:36 remaining in the third quarter. HC Aaron Glenn decided to make the QB change after Justin Fields went 6 of 12 in the first half for 46 yards and was sacked 3 times.

Backup Andy Dalton finished the game for the Panthers after Bryce Young exited with an ankle injury in the third quarter.

After the game, Glenn was non-committal on whom will start for the Jets next week in Cincinnati against the Bengals.

Returning to McDonald’s menus is the Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder With Cheese. The burger made its debut in 2022 and features a signature, 100% fresh beef Quarter Pounder patty, slices of melty American cheese, thick cut applewood smoked bacon, fresh Roma tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a special, smoky BLT sauce. 

Serving as the star of the show, the smoky BLT sauce is seasoned with paprika, parsley, and black pepper. McDonald’s describes it as a “sweet and tangy, savory and garlicy sauce” that flaunts “a lingering smokiness.”

After a lengthy standoff, the New York Mets re-signed Pete Alonso to a two-year, $54 million contract over the offseason. While the deal kept the slugger in Queens for 2025, it also includes an opt out for the second year. And, barring an unforeseen disaster, Alonso will almost certainly re-enter free agency at the end of the season.

The Mets could work out a new contract with the five-time All-Star. But Alonso will have other suitors interested in a power-hitting corner infielder. It’s unclear if either side will prioritize the other in free agency. And Alonso reflected that uncertainty when discussing his future with the team.

“We’ll see what happens. I love it, it’s great. But you can’t really predict anything,” Alonso said, per New York Post Sports. “It’d be great to stay… whatever happens happens.”
