The Carolina Panthers secured a 20-17 overtime victory against the New York Giants in Week 10, held in Munich, Germany. Linebacker Josey Jewell was instrumental in the win with two turnovers: an interception in the fourth quarter and a fumble recovery during overtime. This marked only the second time in Jewell's career he achieved two turnovers in a game.

Defensive end A'Shawn Robinson also made significant contributions against his former team by forcing the fumble that Jewell recovered. Robinson recorded seven tackles, including five solo efforts, and achieved his third sack of the year—a career-high for him.

Safety Xavier Woods intercepted a deflected pass from outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney towards the end of the first half. This was Woods' second interception of the season. Corner Jaycee Horn added to his season total with another pass defense, tying him for fourth place in league standings.

In his debut game for the Panthers, outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum registered a sack and forced a fumble among other defensive achievements. Quarterback Bryce Young managed to avoid pressure from a Giants defense known for its high sack rate, sustaining only one sack throughout the game.

Rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders caught his first career touchdown early on, while running back Chuba Hubbard delivered an impressive performance with 153 rushing yards and one touchdown.

The Panthers utilized three wide receivers alongside Hubbard and Sanders for most of their offensive plays due to injuries limiting their options. On defense, D.J. Wonnum played extensively after returning from injury, showing productivity with multiple defensive stats.

The Panthers have been noted for having energetic special teams players like Sam Franklin Jr., Lonnie Johnson, and Feleipe Franks who bring intensity to games.
