PHILADELPHIA — The Panthers once again proved they can play with anyone.
The Panthers once again proved that Chuba Hubbard is the kind of guy you invest in.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, they also proved they’re still short of beating the best teams in the league for very particular reasons.
The Panthers fell 22-16 to the Eagles Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field to drop to 3-10 on the season.
As with the recent near-misses against the Chiefs and Buccaneers, the Panthers pushed the Eagles to the limit, carrying a 16-14 lead into the fourth quarter and driving in the final minute with a chance to take the lead.
They did it with a solid defensive effort (better than the numbers indicated), as the Eagles got their yards on the ground but not otherwise. Philadelphia had 211 of their 294 yards on the ground, as Saquon Barkley set the franchise rushing record. He finished with 124 yards on 20 carries.
The Panthers also got another solid outing from Hubbard, who topped the 1,000-yard barrier for the season, his first time achieving that in his four NFL seasons.
Hubbard finished with 26 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown.
