Quarterback battles highlighted Friday's pre-season action, with battles to start for the Jets and Eagles hotting up, while in New England the Patriots showed a new focus on running the ball.
Miami Dolphins 27 Jacksonville Jaguars 3
Not the start Jags fans wanted to see, with QB
Blaine Gabbert struggling badly and Justin Blackmon being escorted from the field despite not even playing! Blackmon exchanged words with Miami's Nolan Carroll before getting involved with his own team-mate Jason Babin.
It's not what the team wants to see from a player already missing the first four games of the new season through suspension. Miami QB Ryan Tannehill seemed to have a good connection with new tight end Dustin Keller, while Mike Wallace went without a catch.
Carolina Panthers 24 Chicago Bears 17
Marc Trestman's debut as Bears coach did not go exactly as planned, with
Jay Cutler throwing an interception on his first pass attempt and defensive tackle Harry Melton knocked out of the game with concussion. Carolina's offence did little and it was cornerback John Norman who made the big impact with two picks including one he returned for a 60-yard score.
