USAT: Panthers Wire

Not to reopen old wounds—or sprains in this particular case—but Sunday was the first time Brian Burns and Mac Jones shared a football field since Week 9. And you remember what happened in Week 9, don’t you? - Burns probably does—as the rookie passer grabbed and twisted his ankle following a strip-sack in the first quarter of that Nov. 7 matchup between the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots. - Unsurprisingly, some bad blood would also follow the incident. Jones mildly addressed the dirty play, claiming he didn’t intend to injure Burns despite, well, intentionally injuring Burns. The third-year defensive end, in turn, thought Jones’ move and subsequent explanation was “some bull.” - Well, Burns had a chance to settle that bull during the 2022 Pro Bowl and, boy, did he ever! - - Caught in the web pic.twitter.com/LoVrkGw3Mv - — Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) February 6, 2022 - - - Okay, it’s the dang Pro Bowl. What did you expect? - As he did earlier in the season, Jones helped guide his squad to the win over Burns’—with the AFC coming away with a 41-35 victory. Jones led the red with 112 passing yards while Burns led the NFC side with 2.0 sacks. - So, hopefully, it’s all water under the bridge and Panthers fans can go back to hating the Patriots for just being the Patriots. - - RelatedPanthers great Luke Kuechly has to figure out 'what's next' - - RelatedHaason Reddick named Panthers' 'unsung hero' of 2021 season - - List - - How did each 2022 Senior Bowl QB perform? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Panthers Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Panthers Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
