Bank of America Stadium | Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers secured a 36-30 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in an overtime game at Bank of America Stadium. The win was marked by significant performances from several players, notably Chuba Hubbard and rookie safety Demani Richardson.
Hubbard played a pivotal role in the Panthers' success, contributing two touchdowns, including the decisive 21-yard score in overtime following a 28-yard run. He amassed 152 rushing yards during the game, with his final dash to the end zone sealing the win for his team.
Richardson made a crucial interception late in the fourth quarter, thwarting a pass attempt by Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. Despite this defensive highlight, Arizona managed to tie the game with a field goal as regulation time expired.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young also showcased resilience after struggling against the Cowboys last week. Young completed 17 out of 26 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns while adding another touchdown on foot with his career-best rushing performance of 68 yards.
The Panthers started strong with an opening drive that included 15 plays and resulted in points on the board. This early momentum set up their initial lead of 20-3. However, James Conner's efforts brought Arizona back into contention before he left due to injury.
Despite challenges throughout their season, now standing at a record of 4-11, the Panthers can reflect on progress made over recent games. Their performance against Arizona offered hope for future contests as they continue to build on this positive outcome.
