Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper was filmed apparently throwing a drink at Jacksonville Jaguars fans during a game where the Panthers suffered a 26-0 loss, ending their streak of 342 games without being shut out. The incident occurred after an interception by Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, who has been underperforming since being drafted first overall.
