GREEN BAY, Wis. Take a look inside some of the key numbers and stats, as well as the snap counts, from the Panthers' 16-13 win against the Packers.

• The Panthers continued their streak of not allowing an opposing offensive touchdown in the first quarter in each of their nine games this season.
• LinebackerChristian Rozeboomled all tacklers in the game with a career high 15 tackles, including one for loss and a forced fumble. The forced fumble was the first of his career.
• Rozeboom, who had 12 tackles last week against the Bills, is the first Panthers' linebacker sinceLuke Kuechlyin 2016 to post back-to-back games of 12-plus tackles.
• The fumble was (at the time) only the fourth turnover the Packers' had given up this season.

• Defensive tackleTershawn Whartontook down quarterback Jordan Love in the second quarter for his second sack of the season for a loss of 8 yards.
• Wharton finished with a career-high seven total tackles (two solo), one tackle for loss, two quarterback hits, and 1.0 sack.

• Trevin Wallacerecorded a season-high nine tackles (six solo), and had one quarterback hit and one pass defensed.

• While Love only had the one sack, the Panthers defense, as a whole, registered six quarterback hurries.
• SafetyTre'von Moehrigrecorded his first interception (seventh-career) of the season off of Love in the third quarter. Moehrig finished with five tackles (three solo), two tackles for loss, one interception and two passes defensed. The interception was only Love's third all season.

• QuarterbackBryce Youngengineered a nine-play, 40-yard drive at the end of the fourth quarter, ending in a game-winning 49-yard field goal by kicker Ryan Fitzgerald. This marks the ninth career game-winning drive by Young since entering the NFL in 2023.
• Young's nine game-winning drives since 2023 (his rookie season) are tied for the most in the NFL over that time span. He is tied with Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, and Geno Smith.

• Running backRico Dowdletotaled 141 scrimmage yards (130 rushing, 11 receiving) and a career-high two rushing touchdowns on 25 carries, his seventh-career 100-yard rushing game and third this season.
• Dowdle is the first Panther with two rushing touchdowns in a game since Young at Atlanta on 1/5/25, and the first by a Carolina running back sinceChuba Hubbardagainst Arizona on 12/22/24.
• Dowdle now has a career-high four rushing touchdowns on the season.
• Dowdle becomes the fourth Carolina player to record at least 125 rushing yards in three games in a season, joining Stephen Davis (five games in 2003), Christian McCaffrey (four in 2019) and DeAngelo Williams (three in 2008 and 2009).

• In the first quarter, wide receiverTetairoa McMillansnagged his second catch of the game, his 39th on the season, moving him to eighth-all time in receptions in Panthers history surpassing Brandon LaFell (38). McMillan finished with four receptions for 46 yards.
• McMillan tallied two explosive receiving plays, totaling 17 on the season, moving into sixth place surpassing DeAngelo Willaims (16).

• PunterSam Martinrecorded one punt inside the 20-yard line, bringing his career total to 299 the 20th-most in NFL history among all punters, surpassing Reggie Roby (298).
• Fitzgerald, who also had a game-winning 33-yard field goal with no time remaining against Dallas in Week 6, is the first Carolina kicker with multiple game-winning field goals since Eddy Pieiro since 2023 (two) and the first NFL rookie with multiple game-winning field goals since Cincinnati's Evan McPherson (four in 2021).

• Micah Parsons did not record a single pressure across 21 pass rushes in the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers, marking his first career game without a pressure.
• Parsons faced a double-team on 28.6 percent of his pass rushes (6 of 21), his second-highest double-team rate in a game this season. Panthers left tackleIkem Ekwonudid not allow a pressure across 13 matchups with Parsons, including 9 matchups in one-on-one situations.

Snap Counts

Take a look at the snap counts and playtime percentage for the Panthers in Week 9 of the regular season against the Packers.

• Rico Dowdleplayed 72 percent of the snaps,a reflection of his recent work. Running backChuba Hubbardgot 22 percent of them, but was on for several key plays. He's very much a part of this thing and will continue to be, but there's no denying the hot streak Dowdle is on.

• The Panthers have three tight ends they like, and they're not ashamed to use them. When third tight endMitchell Evansis on the field for 41 percent of the snaps (andTommy TrembleandJa'Tavion Sandersare out there half the time), it speaks to their intent to put their emergency offensive tackle on the field and run the ball.

• Damien Lewiscame out for just two snaps, but that allowedJake Curhanto play both guard spots in the same game in the first quarter. Curhan flipped back over to right guard whenChandler Zavalaleft with an elbow injury after just 11 snaps,and became the latest Panthers lineman to jump in mid-stream and play a part in a solid effort.

• Tershawn Whartonis back and playing a major role. The defensive tackle barely came off the field, logging 59 of the 65 defensive snaps (91 percent). With him andDerrick Brown(81 percent) playing the vast majority of the game andA'Shawn Robinsonplaying 49 percent, they only needed 11 snaps combined out of backupsBobby Brown IIIandLaBryan Ray. That illustrates the work the Panthers defensive front has done this year.

• Perhaps no player had a higher snaps-to-plays-made ratio thanChristian Rozeboom. He played 74 percent of the snaps (coming off in a few obvious passing-down packages), but still had a career-high 15 tackles in those 48 snaps.
• Speaking of high-percentage players, starting outside linebackersNic Scourton(78 percent) andD.J. Wonnum(75 percent) were out there most of the time, since they were thin at the position because of injury.Trevis Gipson, signed Tuesday, played 28 percent of the snaps as the only rotational sub there, sincePrincely Umanmielenwas inactive with an ankle injury.

• A lot of the special teamers got defensive work in last week's blowout loss, but were back to their usual workloads this week, includingThomas Incoom(82 percent of the special teams snaps) andAkayleb Evans(35 percent). Practice squad call-upJeremiah Moonmade his Panthers debut, getting six special teams snaps.
• Wild to seeTaylor Moton's name down here only, but the veteran right tackle was limited to three snaps on the field goal/extra point team because he was coming off a knee injury, and was only active for emergency duty on offense. For a change, they didn't need all eight offensive linemen in a game.
