The Carolina Panthers needed a spark. They needed balance. They needed someone to steady an offense that has swung wildly from week to week.
Against the best team in the NFC, Chuba Hubbard gave them all of it.
The fifth-year running back, once relegated to a secondary role and fresh off a calf strain that cost him two games, delivered his most complete performance of the season in the Panthers’ upset win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Hubbard finished with 17 carries for 83 rushing yards and added two catches for 41 receiving yards, including a 35-yard catch and run touchdown that provided Carolina’s first points of the afternoon.
