The Carolina Panthers couldn't get anything going on the ground in their first meeting with the New Orleans Saints this season. Head coach Kellen Moore and defensive coordinator Brandon Staley came up with the perfect blueprint on how to nullify this supreme threat, and Dave Canales' squad suffered accordingly with an embarrassing defeat on home turf.
However, things could be different this time around.
Carolina has a legitimate 1-2 backfield punch. Rico Dowdle's been performing well all season, but he doesn't have to do it alone anymore. That is thanks to Chuba Hubbard finally finding his feet after recovering from a nagging calf issue.
