The Carolina Panthers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 25-14 on Sunday behind Bryce Young’s two touchdown passes and Chuba Hubbard’s 120 rushing yards, turning a six-point lead entering the fourth quarter into a convincing road victory. Carolina scored 12 points in the final period at Lincoln Financial Field to improve to 3-2, while Philadelphia fell to 2-4 in this Week 6 NFL regular-season matchup.
For the Panthers, the winning formula combined a productive ground game with timely passing production. Young supplied 281 yards through the air, Hubbard handled 28 carries, and Jalen Coker led the receiving effort. Together, those performances gave Carolina enough offense to leave Philadelphia with its second road win in three tries.
Carolina Builds Its Advantage, Then Finishes Strong
The Panthers took a 3-0 lead after the opening quarter, establishing an early edge in front of an announced crowd of 69,879. Both teams scored seven points in the second quarter, leaving Carolina ahead 10-7 at halftime. Philadelphia remained within one score, but the Panthers had held their advantage through the first half.
Carolina added three more points in the third quarter while keeping Philadelphia scoreless, stretching the margin to 13-7. That made the final period pivotal: the Eagles were still close enough for one touchdown and an extra point to change the lead.
Instead, Carolina outscored Philadelphia 12-7 in the fourth quarter. The Panthers’ highest-scoring period arrived when they needed separation, and their final margin grew to 11 points. This was not an overtime escape or a fourth-quarter comeback; Carolina entered the closing quarter ahead and finished with a two-possession victory.
The supplied game summary does not identify individual scoring drives, turnovers, sacks, red-zone stops, fourth-down conversions or two-point attempts.

Key Performers: Young, Hubbard and Coker
Bryce Young — 20/39, 281 YDS, 2 TD. Young completed 51.3% of his passes and averaged 7.2 yards per attempt. Although the completion rate left room for improvement, his yardage and two scoring throws provided substantial production. His interception total was not supplied in the game data.
Chuba Hubbard — 28 CAR, 120 YDS, 1 TD. Hubbard delivered both volume and a touchdown, averaging 4.3 yards per carry. His workload gave Carolina a substantial rushing contribution rather than leaving the offense dependent entirely on Young’s passing.
