Smith was on the injury report Friday with a groin problem, but was declared active and will likely be the Panthers’ punt returner and as the third wide receiver in the three-wide set.

Barkley led the Giants in targets and receptions (six), handling the ball 24 times in all. Carolina’s run defense was victimized early and often by Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt last week. Giants-Titans failed to hit the over last week, also set at 43.5 points. Meanwhile, there are undoubtedly positives to take away from New York’s win, one of them being the run defense. Things might be starting to click this month for Jones and Barkley under Daboll and new offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, but it’s clear they won’t start playing like the Bills overnight. We’d also venture to say that Mayfield is more talented at this stage of his career than Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who fared well in Week 1. The two-point loss was far closer than any of their first seven losses of this stretch, four of which came by double digits. The end result: 16-for-27 passing, 235 yards, two touchdowns (one rushing), one pick and one loss to Jacoby Brissett. Mayfield led the Panthers back from a nine-point deficit with 6:13 to go, helped by a 75-yard touchdown pass to Robbie Anderson. The Giants (1-0) were an intriguing pick to cover last week as 5.5-point underdogs, and not only did they make that happen, they won outright. The recent history isn’t pretty in Charlotte, but in reality, it’s the kind of streak we expect to be broken sooner rather than later. The Carolina Panthers are brushing themselves off after a season-opening loss on a last-second field goal.
