Overview
- Rico Dowdle rushed for 130 yards on 25 carries with two touchdowns, and his late 19‑yard burst set up the game-winner.
- Green Bay, a 13.5-point favorite, settled for two early field goals, committed turnovers and penalties, and finished with only one touchdown.
- Jordan Love completed 26 of 37 for 273 yards with one interception and no touchdown passes as the offense stalled repeatedly inside the 35.
- Brandon McManus made kicks from 49 and 27 yards but missed a 43‑yard attempt that would have given Green Bay the third‑quarter lead, extending recent concerns.
- Tight end Tucker Kraft left on a cart with a right knee injury as multiple Packers exited, and the result moved Carolina to 5‑4 and dropped Green Bay to 5‑2‑1.
