The Story in 60 Seconds

The Carolina Panthers evaluated their performance in holding and extending leads following a 25-14 Week 6 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. Head coach Dave Canales highlighted the team's decisive 14-play, 94-yard touchdown drive in the second half, which was capped by running back Chuba Hubbard. Hubbard rushed for 120 yards on 28 carries, providing crucial physical offense down the stretch to close out the contest.

Canales also took personal responsibility for clock management confusion before halftime, where quarterback Bryce Young showed frustration after time expired without a fourth-down attempt. Personnel notes included right tackle Taylor Moton successfully playing all 79 snaps in his return from blood clots, and linebacker Bobby Okereke recording eight tackles and a sack.
