Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper appeared to throw a drink toward Jacksonville Jaguars fans in the stands at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville on Kacper SobieskiSunday.

The Panthers lost, 26-0, dropping the team to 2-14 in what was the franchise's first shutout loss since 2002. The defeat assured that the Panthers would finish with the worst record of any team in the league this season.

After the game, a video showing Tepper throwing the contents of his cup began circulating on social media.

"We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told USA TODAY Sports in an email.

Tepper fired coach Frank Reich in November, just 10 months after hiring him, following the team's 1-10 start. With the move marking the third time he has dismissed a coach since buying the Panthers in 2018, he pushed back against questions about his patience as an owner.

“I do have patience. My reputation away from this game is one of extreme patience,” Tepper said in a news conference. “There’s no reason why that doesn’t come here, too. Now, that patience comes with good performance and wanting to see progress made in different aspects."
