- The Panthers pitched their first shutout since a 38-0 win over Atlanta in Week 14 of the 2015 season.
- Carolina outgained Detroit, 374-185, while also doubling up the Lions in first downs, 20-10.
- The Panthers' defense forced a season-high six punts and held the Lions to 3-of-14 on third down for a season-best 21-percent conversion rate. Carolina entered the game with a league-worst 55.3 percent third-down defense and had forced just two punts in its last four games.
- The Lions never advanced past the Panthers' 33-yard line and that drive ended with a missed field goal. It marked the first time since Week 2 of 2017 (Buffalo) that Carolina did not allow a play in its red zone.
- The Panthers racked up a season-high five sacks and had 11 quarterback hits. It marked the most QB hits for Carolina since Week 9 of 2018 against Tampa Bay.
- Carolina's defense held Detroit to 40 net rushing yards, marking the second time this season (Week 9, Kansas City, 36) that the Panthers have held a team under to 40 or fewer rushing yards.
- The Panthers outscored the Lions, 10-0, in the third quarter. Carolina had averaged just 2.4 points in the third quarter through its first 10 games.
- Carolina lost the turnover battle, 2-1, thanks to two red-zone interceptions. It marked just the second time in franchise history (2006) that Carolina shut out a team while losing the turnover battle.
