- Adrian Martinez hit Brandon Smith for a big gain down the middle;

- The Jets failed to punch it in as Hall fumbled and then Rodgers threw a bad pick to a linebacker;

- Tyrod Taylor led a scoring drive with a deep ball to Lance McCutcheon and a well-blocked 20-yard Davis touchdown run to the outside;

- The Panthers drove for a score against the Jets starters, as Reed gave up a 30-yard catch and the Panthers scored on a 25-yard run up the middle;
- With three reserves in on the offensive line, the Jets drove the length of the field in 70 seconds with Rodgers getting rid of the ball quickly in the face of interior pressure a few times, including twice to Tyler Conklin for first downs. He then drew a pass interference penalty downfield on a deep throw to Wilson, who also caught the touchdown at the pylon to finish the drive; and
- The second team's attempt at a drive featured a Davis drop and a bad Taylor pass that was intercepted.
