Offensively, Joe Mixon was the standout performer for Carolina, racking up 97 rushing yards and leading the team with 99 receiving yards, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities. Quarterback Bryce Young contributed with a touchdown pass, adding to the team's scoring efforts, while Jalen Hurts of the Eagles managed 149 passing yards but could not find the end zone through the air.
Defensively, the Panthers made a significant impact, with Zakee Wheatley intercepting two passes that shifted momentum in their favor.
