It was not long ago that Chuba Hubbard's fumble in an overtime game against the Buccaneers left a mark on the Carolina Panthers. However, in a recent game against the Cardinals, Hubbard redeemed himself by scoring the decisive touchdown in overtime, leading to a 36-30 victory. This performance erased memories of his previous mistake and highlighted the trust placed in him by his team.

Quarterback Bryce Young emphasized this trust with one word: "Complete." He elaborated on Hubbard's dedication, saying, "The thing that people don't see is how hard he works...He cares and gives so much to this game."

Hubbard's work ethic resonates with his teammates, particularly the offensive line. Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu described hearing the crowd before seeing Hubbard score. Center Brady Christensen shared similar sentiments about witnessing Hubbard's touchdown.

Right guard Robert Hunt expressed excitement for Hubbard's achievement: "A walk-off, man, it's pretty exciting. I was happy for Chuba."

Afterward, Hubbard reflected on his journey from disappointment to redemption: "Obviously, I was down in that moment...but I knew that I'd get another one." He expressed gratitude for being trusted again.

The Panthers' decision to rely on Hubbard during critical moments underscores their confidence in him. As he put it: "Ending on our terms...everyone just blocked their asses off and I just made the right cuts."
