PLAYER STATS
Panthers

- Bridgewater threw for 276 yards on 26-of-37 passing for a 98.5 pass rating, and also ran for 32 yards. His 18-yard touchdown scamper in the first quarter was his first rushing score since Dec. 20, 2015.
- Running back Mike Davis totaled 111 scrimmage yards, including 84 yards on the ground and a rushing touchdown. In the nine quarters since Christian McCaffrey was hurt, Davis has 130 rushing yards, 146 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
- Wide receiver Robby Anderson fell one yard short of his third 100-yard receiving game this season, leading Panthers' receivers with eight receptions for 99 yards.
