Carolina Panthers vs Green Bay Packers Match Player Stats
Carolina Panthers vs Green Bay Packers match player stats from November 2, 2025, tell the story of a tight 16-13 Carolina victory at Lambeau Field. The final score was close, but the underlying numbers reveal a fascinating contrast: Green Bay produced far more passing offense, while Carolina controlled the game with its rushing attack, red-zone execution, and a crucial late defensive turnover. Rico Dowdle’s 130 rushing yards and two touchdowns were central to Carolina’s success, while Jordan Love’s 273 passing yards and Romeo Doubs’ 91 receiving yards highlighted Green Bay’s stronger aerial production.
The Panthers entered the game at 4-4 and improved to 5-4 with the victory. Green Bay entered at 5-2-1 and moved to 5-2-1 after the loss. ESPN’s official game record confirms the 16-13 final score, the 265-to-369 total-yardage difference, and the major statistical categories from the matchup. ESPN official game box score
Carolina Panthers vs Green Bay Packers Match Player Stats
The most useful way to understand this game is not to look at one box-score category in isolation. Green Bay gained 369 total yards compared with Carolina’s 265, yet the Panthers still won because their 163 rushing yards created a different type of offensive efficiency.
Carolina ran the ball 33 times for 163 yards, averaging 4.9 yards per attempt. Green Bay carried 25 times for 104 yards, averaging 4.2 yards per carry. That 59-yard rushing advantage was important because Carolina could shorten possessions, stay away from excessive passing volume, and put its offense in situations where Dowdle could repeatedly test the Packers’ front.
The passing numbers moved in the opposite direction.
Jordan Love completed 26 of 37 attempts for 273 yards, while Bryce Young completed 11 of 20 passes for 102 yards. Both quarterbacks threw one interception and both were sacked once.
That creates an important distinction when reading the game. Green Bay had the more productive passing offense, but Carolina had the more productive rushing offense. The Panthers did not need to win the statistical battle in every category. They needed enough efficiency in the categories that directly affected scoring opportunities.
Final Score and Game Context
| Category | Carolina Panthers | Green Bay Packers |
| Final Score | 16 | 13 |
| Total Yards | 265 | 369 |
| Passing Yards | 102 | 265 |
| Rushing Yards | 163 | 104 |
| Total Plays | 54 | 63 |
| Yards per Play | 4.9 | 5.9 |
| First Downs | 19 | 20 |
| Third Down | 4/10 | 7/13 |
| Fourth Down | 2/2 | 2/3 |
| Turnovers | 1 | 2 |
| Time of Possession | 29:50 | 30:10 |
The numbers show how unusual the game was. Green Bay had more total yards, more first downs, more plays, better passing production, and better third-down conversion. Carolina still finished with the win.
That is why the player-level numbers are more revealing than the final score alone.
Bryce Young Passing Performance
Bryce Young finished 11 of 20 for 102 yards with no touchdown passes and one interception. His average was 5.1 yards per attempt, and he finished with a 48.3 passer rating and 38.3 QBR according to the supplied game data.
Those numbers are not the profile of a high-volume passing performance. Carolina instead used Young as part of a run-oriented offensive structure.
Young’s limited passing volume was particularly notable because the Panthers were able to move the ball on the ground. When an offense is averaging 4.9 yards per rushing attempt and has a back producing 130 yards, there is less reason to ask the quarterback to throw 35 or 40 times.
Young also contributed as a runner, finishing with two carries for nine yards. His mobility helped Carolina generate additional rushing value without requiring another designed passing situation.
Young’s Key Passing Numbers
- Completions: 11
- Attempts: 20
- Completion rate: 55%
- Passing yards: 102
- Yards per attempt: 5.1
- Touchdowns: 0
- Interceptions: 1
- Sacks: 1
- QBR: 38.3
- Passer rating: 48.3
- Rushing: 2 carries for 9 yards
The interception came in the third quarter when Xavier McKinney intercepted Young, giving Green Bay a turnover opportunity. Carolina ultimately absorbed that mistake without allowing it to define the game.
Young’s contribution therefore needs to be evaluated in context. He was not asked to carry the offense through the air. His role was to distribute the ball, avoid excessive negative plays, and allow the running game to remain the foundation.
Jordan Love Passing Performance
Jordan Love produced considerably more yardage through the air. He completed 26 of 37 attempts for 273 yards, averaging 7.4 yards per attempt in the supplied player data. He threw one interception and one touchdown was not recorded.
Love’s 273 passing yards represented the largest single source of Green Bay’s offensive production.
The Packers also generated 13 passing first downs compared with six for Carolina. That gap demonstrates how much more frequently Green Bay was able to move the chains through the air.
Yet passing yardage did not translate directly into points.
Love’s Key Passing Numbers
- Completions: 26
- Attempts: 37
- Completion rate: 70.3%
- Passing yards: 273
- Yards per attempt: 7.4
- Touchdowns: 0
- Interceptions: 1
- Sacks: 1
- Sack yardage: 8 yards
- QBR: 63.8
- Passer rating: 80.1
A major reason the yardage total did not become a larger scoring total was Green Bay’s red-zone performance. The Packers went 1-for-5 in the red zone, while Carolina went 2-for-3.
That difference is one of the most important statistics in the entire game.
Rico Dowdle Was the Offensive Centerpiece
Rico Dowdle was the standout statistical performer for Carolina. He carried the ball 25 times for 130 yards, averaging 5.2 yards per carry, with two touchdowns and a long run of 29 yards.
His workload was significant.
Dowdle accounted for 25 of Carolina’s 33 rushing attempts. That means he handled roughly three quarters of the Panthers’ rushing attempts.
More importantly, his production came against a Green Bay defense that entered the game with a strong reputation against the run. ESPN’s game recap noted that Green Bay was ranked third in the NFL in rushing defense entering the matchup.
Dowdle did more than accumulate yardage. He scored both of Carolina’s touchdowns and produced the late run that helped set up the winning field goal.
Dowdle’s Rushing Line
| Statistic | Rico Dowdle |
| Carries | 25 |
| Rushing Yards | 130 |
| Average | 5.2 |
| Touchdowns | 2 |
| Long Run | 29 yards |
| Receptions | 2 |
| Receiving Yards | 11 |
His receiving contribution was modest, with two catches for 11 yards, but his rushing performance was the foundation of Carolina’s offensive plan.
The fourth-quarter sequence was especially important. After Green Bay tied the game at 13-13 with Josh Jacobs’ touchdown, Carolina regained possession. Dowdle then produced a 19-yard run that moved the Panthers into position for Ryan Fitzgerald’s winning 49-yard field goal.
That sequence illustrates why raw rushing totals can sometimes understate a running back’s impact. A 19-yard carry in the final minutes of a tied game has a different tactical value from a 19-yard run early in the second quarter.
Carolina’s Rushing Attack vs. Green Bay’s Front
Carolina finished with 33 rushing attempts for 163 yards and two touchdowns.
The supporting production included:
- Chuba Hubbard: 5 carries, 17 yards
- Bryce Young: 2 carries, 9 yards
- Jimmy Horn Jr.: 1 carry, 7 yards
- Rico Dowdle: 25 carries, 130 yards
The Panthers’ rushing average of 4.9 yards per attempt was substantially better than Green Bay’s 4.2.
That difference helped Carolina remain competitive despite its low passing output.
Hubbard’s five carries also show how the workload was concentrated. Dowdle was clearly the primary ball carrier in this matchup.
The offensive approach was straightforward: establish the run, protect the quarterback from excessive volume, and make Green Bay defend the line of scrimmage repeatedly.
Josh Jacobs Led Green Bay’s Rushing Attack
Josh Jacobs was Green Bay’s leading rusher with 17 carries for 87 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry and produced a long run of 18 yards.
Jacobs also caught four passes for 13 yards, giving him a combined 100 yards from scrimmage.
His fourth-quarter touchdown was important because it brought Green Bay back into the game. With 2:32 remaining, Jacobs scored on a one-yard run to tie the game at 13-13.
Green Bay’s other rushing contributors were:
- Emanuel Wilson: 6 carries, 16 yards
- Jordan Love: 1 carry, 1 yard
- Savion Williams: 1 carry, 0 yards
As a team, Green Bay recorded 104 rushing yards on 25 attempts.
Why Jacobs’ Numbers Mattered
Jacobs did not receive the same workload as Dowdle, but he remained efficient. His 5.1-yard average was almost identical to Dowdle’s 5.2.
The difference was volume.
Dowdle received 25 carries. Jacobs received 17.
That eight-carry gap helped produce a 59-yard difference in team rushing output.
Carolina Receiving Statistics
Carolina’s passing game was relatively quiet.
The Panthers recorded 11 receptions for 102 yards from 19 targets. No Carolina receiver scored a touchdown.
Tetairoa McMillan led the team with four receptions for 46 yards on six targets. He averaged 11.5 yards per reception and recorded a long of 16 yards.
Xavier Legette produced Carolina’s longest reception, a 22-yard catch on three targets.
The complete leading receiving production included:
| Player | Rec. | Yards | Avg. | Targets | Long |
| Tetairoa McMillan | 4 | 46 | 11.5 | 6 | 16 |
| Xavier Legette | 1 | 22 | 22.0 | 3 | 22 |
| Rico Dowdle | 2 | 11 | 5.5 | 3 | 8 |
| Jalen Coker | 1 | 9 | 9.0 | 1 | 9 |
| Brycen Tremayne | 1 | 8 | 8.0 | 1 | 8 |
| Ja’Tavion Sanders | 1 | 5 | 5.0 | 1 | 5 |
| Jimmy Horn Jr. | 1 | 1 | 1.0 | 1 | 1 |
Chuba Hubbard received two targets but did not record a reception. Tommy Tremble was also targeted once without a catch.
The distribution shows that Carolina’s passing attack was not built around one dominant volume receiver in this game. McMillan led the team, but the Panthers relied much more heavily on their running game.
Green Bay Receiving Statistics
Green Bay’s receiving production was much stronger.
The Packers completed 26 passes for 273 yards, and their receivers accounted for the same 273-yard passing total from Love.
Romeo Doubs led the team with seven receptions for 91 yards on 10 targets. His 13.0 yards per catch and 30-yard long reception made him one of the most important pieces of Green Bay’s passing attack.
Christian Watson recorded two catches for 58 yards, including a 52-yard reception. That single play represented a significant portion of his production.
Packers Receiving Leaders
| Player | Rec. | Yards | Avg. | Targets | Long |
| Romeo Doubs | 7 | 91 | 13.0 | 10 | 30 |
| Christian Watson | 2 | 58 | 29.0 | 4 | 52 |
| Luke Musgrave | 3 | 34 | 11.3 | 3 | 21 |
| Chris Brooks | 2 | 24 | 12.0 | 2 | 16 |
| Tucker Kraft | 2 | 20 | 10.0 | 3 | 10 |
| Josh Jacobs | 4 | 13 | 3.3 | 5 | 7 |
| Savion Williams | 2 | 12 | 6.0 | 2 | 6 |
| Malik Heath | 1 | 11 | 11.0 | 1 | 11 |
| Matthew Golden | 2 | 9 | 4.5 | 3 | 6 |
| Emanuel Wilson | 1 | 1 | 1.0 | 2 | 1 |
The difference between the two passing attacks is obvious.
Green Bay had 35 team targets compared with Carolina’s 19. The Packers therefore had substantially more opportunities to generate production through the air.
Romeo Doubs Provided Consistent Production
Doubs’ seven receptions were the highest total for either team’s receiving group.
His 91 yards were also the second-highest individual receiving total in the game, behind no one on Carolina because the Panthers‘ leading receiver had only 46 yards.
Doubs was targeted 10 times, meaning his involvement was substantial rather than dependent on one unusually long play.
His 30-yard reception in the second half helped Green Bay sustain its offense during a game where the Packers repeatedly moved the ball between the 20-yard lines but struggled to finish drives.
Christian Watson’s Big-Play Impact
Christian Watson’s numbers were unusual.
He caught only two passes, but those receptions went for 58 yards. His 52-yard catch was the longest reception by either team.
That produced a 29.0-yard average per reception.
However, Watson was targeted four times and did not score. His production therefore came primarily through explosive gains rather than consistent volume.
This distinction matters when analyzing receiving statistics. Two catches for 58 yards can be highly valuable, but it does not provide the same sustained chain-moving volume as seven catches for 91 yards.
Turnovers Changed the Game
Both quarterbacks threw one interception, but the overall turnover margin favored Carolina.
The Panthers committed one turnover. Green Bay committed two.
Carolina’s interception came from Tre’von Moehrig, who intercepted Jordan Love and returned it 36 yards. Green Bay’s interception came from Xavier McKinney, who picked off Bryce Young.
Green Bay also lost a fumble by Savion Williams.
That gave the Packers two total turnovers compared with Carolina’s one.
In a 16-13 game, one additional turnover can become a major factor because scoring opportunities are already limited.
Tre’von Moehrig’s Interception
Moehrig’s interception came in the third quarter on a pass intended for Christian Watson.
The play stopped a Green Bay possession inside the Packers’ own territory and gave Carolina another opportunity.
The Panthers converted that opportunity into a touchdown drive, with Dowdle eventually scoring his second rushing touchdown.
This is a strong example of why defensive statistics should be analyzed alongside offensive numbers.
Carolina did not dominate defensively from a yardage perspective. Instead, its defense generated a key takeaway at an important point in the game.
Red-Zone Efficiency Was a Major Difference
The red-zone numbers provide perhaps the clearest explanation for the final score.
Carolina went 2-for-3 in the red zone.
Green Bay went 1-for-5.
That means the Panthers converted two thirds of their red-zone opportunities into touchdowns, while Green Bay converted only one of five into touchdowns.
This is particularly significant because Green Bay accumulated 369 total yards and 265 passing yards.
Yardage can tell you how much offense a team generated. Red-zone efficiency tells you how much of that offense became touchdowns.
Carolina’s offense was less productive between the 20s, but more efficient when it reached scoring territory.
Third-Down and Fourth-Down Performance
Green Bay was better on third down.
The Packers converted 7 of 13 third downs, compared with Carolina’s 4 of 10.
That represents a major advantage in sustaining drives.
However, Carolina was perfect on fourth down, converting 2 of 2 attempts. Green Bay converted 2 of 3.
The Panthers therefore made the most of their limited high-leverage fourth-down opportunities.
These numbers show why the game cannot be explained simply by offensive yardage. Green Bay repeatedly demonstrated an ability to sustain drives, but Carolina produced enough successful high-leverage plays to keep the scoring margin under control.
Kicking Performance
Ryan Fitzgerald became one of the most important players in the final statistical picture.
He finished 1-for-1 on field goals, with his successful attempt coming from 49 yards. He scored four total points.
The game-winning kick came as time expired.
Fitzgerald’s extra-point numbers were less clean. He went 1-for-2 on extra points, with the missed attempt coming after Dowdle’s second touchdown.
That miss became especially relevant because Green Bay later tied the game at 13-13 rather than needing a touchdown and two-point conversion to reach the same score.
Brandon McManus made two of three field-goal attempts for Green Bay and converted his lone extra-point attempt. He scored seven points.
The kicking comparison was therefore:
| Kicker | FG | FG % | Long FG | XP | Points |
| Ryan Fitzgerald | 1/1 | 100% | 49 | 1/2 | 4 |
| Brandon McManus | 2/3 | 66.7% | 49 | 1/1 | 7 |
Fitzgerald’s final field goal ultimately supplied the difference between the teams.
Defensive Player Statistics
Carolina recorded 76 total tackles, 37 solo tackles, one sack, four tackles for loss, four passes defended, and six quarterback hits.
Green Bay recorded 71 total tackles, 25 solo tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, one pass defended, and two quarterback hits.
The defensive totals were:
| Defensive Category | Carolina | Green Bay |
| Total Tackles | 76 | 71 |
| Solo Tackles | 37 | 25 |
| Sacks | 1 | 1 |
| Tackles for Loss | 4 | 1 |
| Passes Defended | 4 | 1 |
| QB Hits | 6 | 2 |
| Defensive TDs | 0 | 0 |
The Panthers generated more tackles for loss, passes defended, and quarterback hits.
Those numbers suggest that although Green Bay produced more overall offensive yardage, Carolina’s defense created more disruption in several key defensive categories.
The Importance of Tre’von Moehrig
Moehrig’s interception was the clearest individual defensive event.
He intercepted Love for a 36-yard return and helped turn a promising Green Bay drive into a Carolina possession.
The timing was important. The interception occurred in the third quarter, and Carolina followed it with an eight-play, 38-yard touchdown drive.
That sequence effectively changed the game’s scoring balance.
Special Teams Contributions
Special teams did not dominate the box score, but several players provided useful field-position contributions.
Trevor Etienne returned three kickoffs for 70 yards, averaging 23.3 yards per return with a long of 27 yards.
Savion Williams returned three kickoffs for 68 yards, averaging 22.7 yards with a long of 33 yards.
Williams also lost a fumble, which made his overall special-teams and ball-security contribution mixed.
Carolina punter Sam Martin recorded three punts for 134 yards, averaging 44.7 yards with a long of 51 yards. One punt finished inside the 20-yard line.
Green Bay did not record a punt in the supplied statistics.
How the Game Developed
The first quarter ended scoreless, setting the tone for a low-scoring contest.
Green Bay opened the scoring with a 49-yard field goal from McManus in the second quarter. Carolina answered with Dowdle’s five-yard touchdown run.
McManus then added another field goal before halftime, giving Green Bay a 6-7 deficit at the break.
Carolina extended its lead in the third quarter when Dowdle scored again on a one-yard run.
The extra point was missed, leaving Carolina ahead 13-6.
Green Bay eventually responded in the fourth quarter with Jacobs’ one-yard touchdown run, tying the game at 13-13.
The Panthers then took possession and worked their way toward midfield. Dowdle’s 19-yard run was particularly valuable because it positioned Carolina for a long field-goal attempt.
Fitzgerald converted from 49 yards as time expired.
ESPN’s game record lists the scoring sequence as Carolina 0, 7, 6, 3 by quarter and Green Bay 0, 6, 0, 7.
What the Player Stats Reveal
The most important lesson from this matchup is that total yardage does not always determine the winner.
Green Bay generated 369 yards, 104 more than Carolina.
The Packers also had:
- 20 first downs
- 265 passing yards
- 63 offensive plays
- 7-of-13 third-down conversion
- 30:10 possession time
Carolina still won because it created a more favorable combination of rushing efficiency, red-zone execution, and turnover margin.
The Panthers had:
- 163 rushing yards
- 4.9 yards per rush
- 2-for-3 red-zone efficiency
- 2-for-2 fourth-down conversion
- Two rushing touchdowns from Dowdle
- A 36-yard interception return
- A game-winning 49-yard field goal
This is exactly why a serious analysis of Carolina Panthers vs Green Bay Packers match player stats should go beyond the headline numbers.
Carolina’s Offensive Formula
Carolina’s offensive formula was built around reducing the amount of responsibility placed on the passing game.
Young threw only 20 passes.
Dowdle carried the ball 25 times.
The Panthers also used Hubbard, Young, and Horn as supplementary runners.
That approach allowed Carolina to remain committed to the ground game even when Green Bay had a substantial advantage in total offensive yardage.
The strategy also helped protect Carolina from relying on a quarterback who finished with only 102 passing yards.
Green Bay’s Offensive Formula
Green Bay used a very different approach.
Love attempted 37 passes and completed 26.
The Packers targeted Doubs heavily, created explosive plays with Watson, and incorporated multiple tight ends and backs into the passing game.
The result was 273 passing yards and 369 total yards.
The weakness was finishing drives.
Green Bay’s 1-for-5 red-zone performance meant that a significant amount of offensive movement resulted in field goals, turnovers, or drives that failed to produce touchdowns.
Why the Yardage Difference Matters
It would be inaccurate to describe Green Bay’s offense as unproductive.
“font-weight: 400;”>The Packers moved the ball.
=”font-weight: 400;”>They generated 5.9 yards per play.
=”yoast-text-mark”>tyle=”font-weight: 400;”>They gained 369 yards.
They converted 53.8% of their third downs.
Love completed more than 70% of his passes.
Those are meaningful indicators of offensive movement.
The problem was conversion.
The Packers’ five red-zone opportunities produced only one touchdown.
In a three-point game, that difference becomes critical.
Why Carolina’s Rushing Advantage Matters
Carolina’s 163 rushing yards represented 61.5% of the team’s total yardage.
That is a major indication of offensive identity in this particular matchup.
Dowdle alone accounted for 130 rushing yards.
His 25 carries allowed Carolina to maintain a reliable method of gaining positive yardage without requiring frequent high-risk passing situations.
The Panthers did not need a high-scoring offensive performance. They needed enough rushing efficiency to remain within striking distance and enough execution late in the game to secure the winning points.

A Deeper Statistical Interpretation
A box score gives you the raw ingredients. The more useful analysis is understanding how those ingredients interacted.
Carolina had fewer yards but generated two rushing touchdowns.
Green Bay had more yards but produced only one touchdown.
Carolina had fewer first downs but converted both fourth-down attempts.
Green Bay had more third-down conversions but failed on three of five red-zone trips.
The game therefore demonstrates the difference between volume and efficiency.
Green Bay’s offense produced more volume.
Carolina’s offense converted a greater share of its most valuable opportunities.
That does not mean one statistical philosophy always works better. It means this specific game was decided by a combination of situational efficiency, rushing production, turnovers, and late-game execution.
