The Panthers (3-7) got the ball at the New York 23 for its only possession of overtime.
Bryce Young completed 15 of 25 passes for 126 yards with a touchdown and Chuba Hubbard churned out a career-high 153 yards on the ground on 28 carries.
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones went 22-for-37 for 190 yards with two interceptions. He also ran for a touchdown.

Graham Gano’s 42-yard field goal with 5 seconds to play forced overtime for the Giants (2-8), who have lost five straight games.
With Carolina leading 17-14, the teams traded turnovers in the final eight minutes. The Panthers lost a fumble, only to have Jones throw an interception four plays later.
New York got the ball back at its own 21-yard line with 2:23 remaining and drove for the tying field goal.
