Panthers vs Packers Thursday Night Preview: Oct. 29
The Panthers (3-3) head to Lambeau Field on Thursday, Oct. 29, to try rebounding from a 43-13 loss to Tampa Bay, while the Packers (4-3) look to snap a 20-17 defeat at Detroit and stay atop a tight NFC North. Carolina relies on QB Bryce Young (12 TDs, 4 INTs) and RB Chuba Hubbard (459 yards, 4 TDs) against a Green Bay defense that has allowed just 59.9 rushing yards per game and boasts a +5 turnover margin. Injuries scar both lines: the Panthers are missing tackle Taylor Moton and are questionable at several spots, and the Packers have key linemen on the IR list. The key battle will be Hubbard versus the Packers' stout run defense, which could dictate the game's tempo.
