The Panthers faced a narrow defeat against the Eagles, losing 22-16 at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. This loss adds to their challenging season, bringing their record to 3-10.

Despite the setback, the Panthers demonstrated resilience and capability by holding a lead into the fourth quarter. Their defense performed strongly, limiting the Eagles primarily to ground yards. Saquon Barkley led Philadelphia with 124 rushing yards out of their total 294 yards.

Chuba Hubbard was a standout for Carolina, surpassing 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in his four-year NFL career. He carried the ball 26 times for 92 yards and scored one touchdown. The team relied heavily on Hubbard due to injuries that sidelined other running backs.

Rookie Jonathon Brooks exited early in the game with a knee injury similar to one he suffered last year. Raheem Blackshear also left due to a chest injury in the first quarter.

Quarterback Bryce Young had a commendable performance despite an interception that led to an Eagles touchdown before halftime. He completed 19 of his 34 passes for 191 yards and connected with Tommy Tremble for a touchdown.

The Panthers also lost cornerback Jaycee Horn in the fourth quarter due to a groin injury. His absence coincided with an Eagles touchdown that secured their victory.
