- The Panthers clearly came into this game with the intent to run and to run differently. Not only did Chuba Hubbard flip the play-time percentages with Miles Sanders for the first time this season (though Sanders was limited with a groin injury last week), but Laviska Shenault Jr. lined up as a traditional runner early. Hubbard was the most effective of the lot, with 41 yards on 14 carries.
- The other way you could tell they were doing business differently was Tommy Tremble's usage. He played a season-high 31 snaps, and there were times they used a three-tight end package to help mix it up.
- The Panthers started the same line combination from the previous week for the first time this season. Calvin Throckmorton came out for a couple of snaps late, but otherwise, that group was intact.

Amare Barno | 2 (4%) | 15 (68%) |
- The Panthers went into this one with a different plan, thinking the Vikings would spread them out. Linebacker Frankie Luvu played every snap, and often, he was the only linebacker on the field. Kamu Grugier-Hill played just 14 snaps; otherwise, they mixed up coverages with Jeremy Chinn in the box.
- D'Shawn Jamison played a season-high 34 snaps, more than any corner other than CJ Henderson (all 48 of them). Part of that was because of Donte Jackson's shoulder injury, and partly, he's becoming a more trusted agent for them. Jamison also had a key block on the interception return touchdown, flattening Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins.
- Third-round pick DJ Johnson was active for the first time and got six snaps on defense and seven on special teams.
Player | Special teams snaps |
---|---|
Claudin Cherelus | 15 (68%) |
Matthias Farley | 15 (68%) |
Jammie Robinson | 15 (68%) |
Dicaprio Bootle | 14 (64%) |
Johnny Hekker | 8 (36%) |
JJ Jansen | 8 (36%) |
Eddy Piñeiro | 6 (27%) |
Nash Jensen | 3 (14%) |
Ricky Lee | 3 (14%) |
- Practice squad call-ups Matthias Farley (68 percent) and Dicaprio Bootle (64 percent) were busy Sunday, playing central roles in special teams with a couple of their regulars playing more of a part on defense.
- Sam Franklin Jr. must have been sad, getting just four special teams snaps. It's who he is. Of course, he started at safety and broke a franchise record with a 99-yard interception return for a touchdown, so that helped.
