Sherwood Park's Chuba Hubbard rushes for 81 yards in Panthers' 27-19 loss to Packers
Jordan Love threw three touchdown passes as Green Bay held off a late Carolina rally, while Alberta-born running back Chuba Hubbard put up strong numbers in the loss.
The Green Bay Packers beat the Carolina Panthers 27-19 on Thursday night at Lambeau Field, with quarterback Jordan Love throwing three touchdown passes and Josh Jacobs scoring twice. Love finished 30 of 41 for 288 yards, connecting with Tucker Kraft, Matthew Golden and Jacobs for scores, though he also threw an interception.
Carolina running back Chuba Hubbard, who is from Sherwood Park, Alta., carried the ball 22 times for 81 yards and a touchdown, and added seven catches for 38 yards. The Panthers trailed 27-10 in the third quarter before cutting the deficit to 27-19 on a Bryce Young touchdown pass to Jalen Coker with 5:37 left, but a failed two-point conversion and a late sack by Dani Dennis-Sutton sealed Green Bay's win.
Green Bay improved to 5-3 while Carolina fell to 3-4. The game also featured injuries to Packers receiver Christian Watson, who was taken to hospital after a 53-yard catch, and Panthers cornerback Will Lee, who was carted off after hurting his hamstring on the same play. The Panthers host Denver on Nov. 8, while the Packers travel to New England the same day.
