Chuba Hubbard of the Carolina Panthers scored a 38-yard touchdown run against the Chicago Bears, giving the Panthers an early 7-0 lead. Hubbard's run was facilitated by a significant hole created by the offensive line, particularly with the help of Austin Corbett. This play followed a successful fourth-and-1 conversion by the Panthers at midfield. Hubbard reached a top speed of 20.68 mph during the run, his fastest as a ball carrier in his career, and gained +31 rushing yards over expected. The Bears' defense struggled to contain Hubbard, highlighting their ongoing issues with run defense. Hubbard was the first TD scorer (+700) and anytime TD scorer (+125).
