When they look back at Week 10 of the 2026 campaign, Carolina Panthers fans will probably remember it as the Chuba Hubbard game.
Much of the team's success this season has come courtesy of quarterback Bryce Young and the, at times, highly-productive passing offense. But this time around, it was Hubbard who was the offense—rushing for 92 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries and reeling in five receptions for a game-high 80 receiving yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the New Orleans Saints.
During his post-game press conference, Young gave Hubbard his props—calling him the "heart and soul" of everything they do.
"He's that heartbeat," Young stated of his teammate. "It's so great to see that come into fruition on Sundays. But the way that he carries
himself throughout the week, the way that he leads, the way he is on and off the field, on the practice field, in the locker room. Being able to watch him be him, it's fun having a great view of that."
On the year, Hubbard is up to 711 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, plus 247 more yards and two scores as a receiver. Most importantly, he led the way in helping the Panthers snap their three-game losing streak and take control of the NFC South.
