Panthers Beat Cardinals 36-30 in Overtime

Chuba Hubbard played a pivotal role in the Carolina Panthers' 36-30 overtime victory over the Arizona Cardinals, effectively eliminating Arizona from playoff contention. Hubbard rushed for 152 yards and scored two touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime, showcasing redemption after a costly fumble in the previous week's loss to the Buccaneers. The victory snapped the Panthers' four-game losing streak and marked a significant personal achievement for Hubbard, who is enjoying the best season of his career. Bryce Young contributed with two passing touchdowns and a career-high rushing performance, while Kyler Murray's efforts for Arizona fell short despite throwing for 202 yards and adding a touchdown. The Panthers capitalized on Arizona's errors, building an early lead and overcoming a late-game rally that was capped by a 58-yard Cardinals field goal to force overtime. Hubbard's standout performance underscores his importance to the Panthers and provides optimism for the team's rebuilding efforts.
