Chuba Hubbard Leads Walk-Off TD for Panthers in Overtime Thriller

The Carolina Panthers have moved on from a fumble by running back Chuba Hubbard in overtime last month, and it’s all thanks to his teammates’ unwavering trust in him. On Sunday, Hubbard delivered a game-winner in the 36-30 win over the Arizona Cardinals, closing out the home season on a high note.

The Panthers extended Hubbard midseason, investing in a player who embodies their work ethic and dedication. Quarterback Bryce Young described Hubbard’s trust as “complete,” highlighting the running back’s tireless efforts off the field.

Hubbard’s ability to connect with the team is evident in his rapport with the offensive line, particularly left tackle Ikem Ekwonu, who praised Hubbard’s mentality and approach. “I mean I was blocking my guy, I was on the backside of the play,” Ekwonu said before hearing the crowd erupt as Hubbard scored.

Center Brady Christensen echoed Ekwonu’s sentiments, describing the moment as “incredible.” Right guard Robert Hunt expressed excitement for Hubbard, saying it was a “dope” walk-off score. After the adrenaline faded, Hubbard remained quiet, expressing gratitude and relief at having redeemed himself from his previous overtime fumble.
