Panthers linebacker Frankie Luvu nearly gifted himself an early birthday present Sunday.
The fifth-year linebacker, who turned 26 years old Monday, dropped what likely would’ve been a pick-six late in the second quarter of the Panthers’ 19-16 loss to the Giants.
New York quarterback Daniel Jones lofted a sideline throw directly toward Luvu with the game tied 6-6. But the ball floated abnormally long, Luvu mistimed his jump and Jones’ pass sailed through the linebacker’s outstretched hands and out of bounds.
