D'Onta Foreman ran for 165 yards and Chuba Hubbard racked up 125 yards on the ground as the Carolina Panthers got back on track by trouncing the Detroit Lions 37-23 on Saturday afternoon in Charlotte, N.C.
A week after gaining only 21 rushing yards, the Panthers used a punishing ground attack right from the start on the way to snapping the Lions' three-game winning streak.
The Panthers' quest for the divisional title will take them to road games against Tampa Bay and New Orleans to close the regular season. Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes to tight end Shane Zylstra for the Lions , but this result was damaging to Detroit's wild-card aspirations. Goff finished 25 for 42 for 355 yards. DJ Chark made four catches for 108 yards.Hubbard picked up 70 yards in just three carries on Carolina's first possession, with the Panthers going 78 yards in five plays, ending on Blackshear's 7-yard touchdown run.
The Panthers scored 17 points in the final 9:35 of the first half, capped by Eddy Pineiro's 37-yard field goal on the final play before the break. The Panthers had a team-record 364 yards of first-half total offense.
