JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Carolina Panthers are going into the new year on a sour note with another loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at Everbank Stadium on Sunday.

The final score of the game was 26-0, making this the first time the Panthers have been shut out since 2002.

On New Year’s Eve, a video began making the rounds online, showcasing a visual sign of frustration from Panthers owner David Tepper.

The video appears to show Tepper throwing a drink out the windows of one of the boxes at Everbank Stadium.

Some of the drink may have landed on some of the Jaguar fans below the box. At the end of the clip, one of the fans appears to be trying to climb into the box.

A spokesperson for the Carolina Panthers has declined to comment. Tepper has yet to comment on the alleged incident.

Channel 9 sports reporter DaShawn Brown reached out to the National Football League (NFL), who said they were aware of the video but didn’t offer any comment.
