The Panthers rank 29th in rushing yards per game, averaging just 92.6 yards. Carolina spent big money on free agent running back Miles Sanders who has underperformed and has lost his role as the starter to Chuba Hubbard. In ten games this season, Sanders has totaled 302 yards and one touchdown on 97 carries. This is off the heels of his best season in the NFL where he rushed for over 1,200 yards and recorded 11 touchdowns.

Quarterback Bryce Young has had his fair share of difficulties during his rookie season, completing just 61% of his pass attempts and has nine touchdowns to eight interceptions on the year. Carolina has had trouble hitting on explosive plays in general, but certainly in the passing game. McCown was in his first year as an NFL coach.
