‘Carolina ranks fourth in rushing EPA, third in rushing yards per game (140.1) and eighth in yards per carry (4.7), according to Next Gen Stats. The Panthers’ 23 rushes of 10-plus yards are more than all but seven NFL teams. They aren’t going to use one back, either. Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard are expected to split carries for the second week in a row. Dowdle’s 551 rushing yards are third most in the NFL. He ran for 389 yards in wins over the Dolphins and Cowboys. 0Hubbard rushed for 1,195 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024. The Panthers are fifth in ESPN’s run block win rate metric, but how will their offense look without a mobile quarterback? Andy Dalton isn’t a threat to run like Bryce Young.’
