Halftime update: Jets 14, Panthers 3

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Reverting back to his early-season turnover problems, Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme threw two second-quarter interceptions, the latter setting up a touchdown with 28 seconds remaining in the half to give the New York Jets an 11-point halftime lead.

Delhomme now has 17 interceptions this season, establishing a new single-season career high for him with 5 1/2 games remaining.

The Panthers' only points of the first half came on a 40-yard field goal by John Kasay with 10:11 remaining in the half.

With 4:25 left, Delhomme tried a deep pass down the right sideline to Steve Smith, but underthrew him and Jets' cornerback Darrelle Revis made his second interception of the game.

New York drove to the Carolina 29, but turned the ball back over to the Panthers when defensive end Julius Peppers forced a fumble that linebacker John Beason recovered at the 26.

Three plays later, Delhomme tried a lob pass to Muhammad that was way off target and was intercepted by safety Kerry Rhodes.

That eventually led to Thomas Jones' 3-yard touchdown run with 28 seconds left in the half for a 14-3 Jets lead.

Both teams are 4-6 and trying to avoid a seventh loss which would almost extinguish any hopes of making a run to the playofffs.
