Inside-the-Numbers_WK5_atLCHI (1)

CHICAGO — A look inside the numbers from Sunday's 36-10 loss against the Bears.

  • Rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker reeled in a 31-yard catch for the first reception of his career. He finished the day with a team-high four receptions for 68 yards.
  • Rookie linebacker Trevin Wallace made his first career start in today's game. He led the team with 15 tackles (10 solo), which marks a new career-high and his first career game with 10+ tackles. Wallace joins Luke Kuechly as the only Panther to record 15+ tackles in a single game as a rookie.
  • On the Panthers second drive of the game, running back Chuba Hubbard scored his second rushing touchdown of the season, capping a five play, 51-yard drive (2:45). On the 38-yard touchdown rush, Hubbard matched his career-high for longest run, a mark he set last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. This marks the second time in his career that he has rushed for a touchdown in back-to-back games.
  • Hubbard reached a top speed of 20.68 mph on his 38-yard TD run, his fastest speed as a ball carrier of his career.
  • On a 5-yard rush in the second quarter, Hubbard reached 3,000 scrimmage yards for his career. He finished the game with 13 carries for 97 rushing- yards and one touchdown.
  • Hubbard was three yards shy of 100 yards, which would have marked his third straight such game.
  • Outside linebacker Charles Harris got to QB Caleb Williams for his first sack of the season, forcing a Bears punt on their opening possession. Harris finished the game with three tackles (three solo), 1.0 sack, one tackle for loss and one quarterback hit.
  • Running back Raheem Blackshear's 43-yard kick return in the second quarter marks his longest of the season and the fifth-longest of his career. He finished with three returns for 101 yards (33.7 average).
  • Quarterback Andy Dalton completed just 3 of his 9 passes over 10 air yards for 80 yards and an interception in the Panthers loss to the Bears (-28.6% CPOE). On passes under 10 air yards, Dalton finished 15 of 18 for 56 yards (+4.5% CPOE). Entering Week 5, Dalton had completed 11 of his 22 downfield attempts for 212 yards, 3 touchdowns, and an interception since taking over for Bryce Young in Week 3.
  • Nine different receivers had receptions against the Bears, the most in any one game this season.
  • Punter Johnny Hekker averaged 51.5 yards per punt on the day (four for 206). It is the highest yards per punt Hekker has averaged in a game this season, including two domes.

Snap Counts

Take a look at the snap counts and playtime percentage for the Panthers in Week 5 of the regular season against the Bears.

Player Offensive Snaps Special Teams Snaps
Damien Lewis 60 (100%) 3 (12%)
Ikem Ekwonu 60 (100%) 3 (12%)
Robert Hunt 60 (100%) 3 (12%)
Andy Dalton 51 (85%)
Diontae Johnson 48 (80%)
Ja'Tavion Sanders 45 (75%) 9 (35%)
Jonathan Mingo 41 (68%) 7 (27%)
Austin Corbett 41 (68%)
Chuba Hubbard 39 (65%)
Jalen Coker 32 (53%) 7 (27%)
Yosh Nijman 31 (52%) 3 (12%)
Taylor Moton 29 (48%) 2 (8%)
David Moore 24 (40%) 6 (23%)
Miles Sanders 23 (38%)
Xavier Legette 22 (37%) 4 (15%)
Brady Christensen 19 (32%) 3 (12%)
Tommy Tremble 17 (28%)
Bryce Young 9 (15%)
Feleipe Franks 4 (7%) 19 (73%)
Raheem Blackshear 3 (5%) 10 (38%)
Chandler Zavala 2 (3%) 3 (12%)
  • When only three offensive players get 100 percent of the snaps, that's the first sign that things have gone poorly. The injuries to Taylor Moton and Austin Corbett disrupted the offensive line, and the late-game quarterback change signaled that things had not gone the way they hoped.
  • Speaking of Moton, his streak of consecutive snaps was stopped at 6,787. He had taken every offensive snap since the start of the 2018 season, playing at a consistently high level in addition to being a constant presence.
  • With the injury to Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders got the bulk of the offensive work again, but by the end of the game, Feleipe Franks got a few snaps in on offense.
Player Defensive Snaps Special Teams Snaps
Nick Scott 75 (100%) 9 (35%)
Mike Jackson 75 (100%) 5 (19%)
Trevin Wallace 75 (100%)
Xavier Woods 75 (100%)
A'Shawn Robinson 71 (95%) 5 (19%)
Jaycee Horn 71 (95%) 1 (4%)
Charles Harris 60 (80%) 5 (19%)
LaBryan Ray 52 (69%) 5 (19%)
Claudin Cherelus 49 (65%) 4 (15%)
Troy Hill 38 (51%)
DJ Johnson 34 (45%) 2 (8%)
Shy Tuttle 33 (44%) 5 (19%)
TJ Smith 31 (41%) 5 (19%)
Jadeveon Clowney 29 (39%)
Chau Smith-Wade 24 (32%) 13 (50%)
Nick Thurman 13 (17%)
Thomas Incoom 11 (15%) 17 (65%)
Tarron Jackson 10 (13%) 5 (19%)
  • It's normal for defensive backs and linebackers to play more than 90 percent of the snaps in a game. What A'Shawn Robinson did Sunday was impressive. He played 71 of the 75 total snaps, the kind of thing Derrick Brown routinely does, but few other 300-pound-plus guys can. Robinson's a solid anchor inside for a team that needs one.
  • They're still rotating heavily at the other line spots, with Shy Tuttle playing 33 snaps in his return after missing the previous two games with a foot injury. T.J. Smith played 31 after being elevated from the practice squad.
  • Veteran outside linebacker Charles Harris also deserves mention for playing 80 percent of the snaps out of necessity when Jadeveon Clowney was injured.
Player Special Teams Snaps
Jon Rhattigan 23 (88%)
Lonnie Johnson 23 (88%)
Jammie Robinson 18 (69%)
Chandler Wooten 18 (69%)
Demani Richardson 14 (54%)
JJ Jansen 7 (27%)
Johnny Hekker 7 (27%)
Shemar Bartholomew 7 (27%)
Eddy Piñeiro 6 (23%)
  • Jon Rhattigan and Lonnie Johnson were acquired just before the opener to provide experience and ballast on special teams, and they're doing their part. Those two have been important pieces on special teams, playing nearly every snap in the kicking game.
  • The Panthers were on the wrong side of the punter-kicker divide this week, with Eddy Piñeiro getting fewer snaps than JJ Jansen and punter-holder Johnny Hekker. That means he didn't have enough opportunities to kick off.
