CHARLOTTE — Take a look inside some of the key numbers and stats, as well as the snap counts, from the Panthers' 31-28 win over the Rams on Sunday.

• Quarterback Bryce Young completed 15 of 20 pass attempts (season-high 75 percent) for 206 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions and a career-high 147.1 passer rating. It marks the second-highest single-game passer rating in franchise history (Cam Newton – 153.3 vs. Atlanta on Dec. 13, 2015).
• Young led a six-play, 65-yard game-winning drive in the fourth quarter that ended with a 43-yard touchdown pass to receiver Tetairoa McMillan. It marks Young's 11th-career game-winning drive, the most in the NFL since 2023.
• Young, at 24 years, 128 days old, surpasses Josh Allen (24 years, 164 days old) as the youngest quarterback in NFL history with 11 game-winning drives.
• Sunday marked Young's fourth game this season with three touchdown passes, the most by a Carolina quarterback in a season since Cam Newton's four games in 2017. Young now has six career games with at least three touchdown passes, the fourth-most in franchise history.

• Young has a career-high 18 touchdown passes in 2025, the most by a Carolina quarterback since Newton's 24 in 2018.
• Young was at his best on third and fourth downs in the Panthers' upset win over the Rams, finishing 8-of-10 for 162 yards and all three touchdowns on later downs.
• According to Next Gen Stats, Young is only the second quarterback in the NGS era (since 2016) with multiple fourth down touchdown passes that traveled over 10 air yards in a single game (Joe Flacco in his Bengals debut in Week 6 earlier this season was the other). Against one of the leading pass rush units league-wide this season, Young was pressured only seven times, his second straight game facing fewer than 10 pressures.

• Running back Chuba Hubbard led the team with a season-high 124 scrimmage yards (83 rushing, 41 receiving), including a 35-yard touchdown reception on the team's opening drive. It marked his fourth touchdown of the season (third receiving) and fifth-career touchdown reception. It marks the second-longest reception of Hubbard's career and the second-longest reception by a Carolina running back this season.
• RB Rico Dowdle totaled 79 scrimmage yards (58 rushing, 21 receiving), his sixth game this season with at least 75 scrimmage yards. Dowdle now has 1,183 scrimmage yards (929 rushing, 254 receiving) this season.
• The Panthers had two running backs each record at least 75 scrimmage yards in a game for the first time since Dec. 24, 2022 (D'Onta Foreman and Hubbard in the legendary 20-degree Freezer Bowl win over the Lions).
• The Panthers called a run play on 38 of 62 offensive plays (61.3 percent), their highest rate under coach Dave Canales.
• Dowdle and Hubbard were effective on inside runs, averaging 4.2 yards per carry (19 carries for 80 yards) compared to 3.8 yards per carry on outside runs (16 carries for 61 yards). Hubbard recorded a season-high six first downs and generated a positive 16 rushing yards over expected in the contest.

• McMillan recorded his sixth receiving touchdown off a 43-yard pass from Young, his longest reception of the season. He is now tied for the most receiving touchdowns this season by a rookie and becomes the second Carolina rookie with six touchdown receptions, joining Kelvin Benjamin (nine in 2014).
• McMillan has 826 receiving yards, surpassing DJ Moore (788 in 2018) for the second-most by a Carolina rookie, trailing only Kelvin Benjamin (1,008 in 2014).

• Jalen Coker caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from Young in the third quarter, his first touchdown of the season and third of his career. It marked the second-longest reception of his career and longest of the season. Coker finished leading all receivers with four receptions for 74 yards (18.5 avg.) and one touchdown.

• Defensive tackle Derrick Brown recorded two tackles (one solo), one tackle for loss, one quarterback hit, one sack, his first-career forced fumble and one pass defensed. Brown has 28 career passes defensed, tied with Mike Rucker for the second-most by a Carolina defensive lineman.
• Brown's seven passes defensed this season are the most in the NFL among defensive linemen.
• Brown's 4.0 sacks this season are a career high.

• Outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum recorded his second-career fumble recovery (first this season) late in the fourth quarter to help secure the victory.
• After recording three interceptions in the first half last week at San Francisco and two interceptions in the first half today, the Panthers are the second team in the NFL this season with multiple first-half interceptions in consecutive games (Detroit, Weeks 4-5).
• Safety Nick Scott picked off Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford in the end zone in the first quarter, marking Stafford's first interception in 318 pass attempts. It marked the first interception of the season for Scott and fifth of his career. Scott finished with a season-high nine tackles (five solo), one pass defensed and one interception.

• Cornerback Mike Jackson intercepted Stafford in the first quarter and returned it 48 yards for a touchdown, his first-career pick-six and sixth-career interception. Jackson now ranks second on the team with a career-high three interceptions this season, behind Jaycee Horn's five.
• Stafford committed three turnovers against the Panthers, including two interceptions and a sack-fumble. Both interceptions came on quick pass attempts, marking Stafford's first game with multiple interceptions on passes under 2.5 seconds since 2018.

• Rookie safety Lathan Ransom made his first start and led the defense with a career-high 11 tackles (two solo) and recorded his first career sack in the third quarter. He became the second Carolina rookie defensive back with at least 10 tackles and a sack in a game, joining Daryl Worley on Oct. 30, 2016.

• The Panthers won their sixth one-score game this season, one of five teams in the NFL with at least six one-score victories.
• The Panthers improved their all-time regular-season record against the Rams to 13-10 and improved their home record against the team to 7-5.

Snap Counts

Take a look at the snap counts and playtime percentage for the Panthers in Week 13 of the regular season against the Rams.

• Veteran running back Chuba Hubbard had begun evening out the ledger of snaps, but last week contained so few offensive plays it was hard to tell if it was a sample size error. But he clearly had the bulk of the work Sunday, with 38 snaps (59 percent) to Rico Dowdle's 27 (42 percent). There's clearly enough work for the both of them, but in the rain and in a pounding game, Hubbard's the better option for blunt-force work.
• You could also tell the kind of game it was going to be from the distribution of snaps for the receivers and tight ends. Tetairoa McMillan normally plays over 90 percent of the snaps, but was at 73 percent Sunday, followed by Xavier Legette at 67 percent. Then you saw blocking tight ends Tommy Tremble (56 percent) and Mitchell Evans (53 percent) play more than half the game, with Ja'Tavion Sanders still getting 48 percent. It went all the way through, with big-body wideout Brycen Tremayne playing 17 snaps to Jimmy Horn Jr.'s four. Cold and wet was the time to be physical, and they were.
• Tight end James Mitchell isn't active often, but he got in three snaps Sunday. He hadn't been up since Weeks 4, 5, and 6 when Sanders was injured. Again, a four-tight end day tells you something.

• You've got to be ready for anything in this game. Chau Smith-Wade went from seeing rookie Corey Thornton cut into his work last week to playing the whole game Sunday. The second-year nickel was needed to play the perimeter with Jaycee Horn injured and Thornton out for the season.
• The other big boost in work was for Lathan Ransom, subbing for the suspended Tre'von Moehrig. He went from playing 34 percent of the snaps in his niche role last week, to every snap Sunday. He responded with a team-high 11 tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, and a quarterback hit. There might have been a few he'd like back, but he responded well when called on.
• With the Rams spreading the field (and rightly so), the Panthers played more of a nickel-based game, and when you see third lineman A'Shawn Robinson only getting 35 percent of the snaps (fewer than third cornerback Akayleb Evans's 58 percent), you can tell what they planned to defend.

• Isaiah Simmons made his Panthers debut, with a solid day's work on special teams. With his addition, the Panthers have now employed the seventh, eighth, and ninth overall picks in the 2020 draft, in the persons of their own choice, Derrick Brown, Simmons, and former cornerback CJ Henderson. They clearly chose wisely.
• Robert Rochell, Kalen King, and Saahdiq Charles all made their Panthers debut as well. Welcome to the club.
• Ryan Fitzgerald nearly doubled his workload from a week ago. He was only needed for six snaps in San Francisco, but had 11 on Sunday. That means more points, and points are good.
