Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard scored more than just a touchdown in the second half of this afternoon’s closely-contested matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. He also scored a career milestone.
Hubbard, for the first time in his four-year NFL career, has now amassed 1,000 rushing yards in a single season. He clinched the landmark on a 6-yard run with just over eight minutes remaining in the third quarter of Sunday’s outing.
Then, eight snaps later, Hubbard hit the end zone for a 1-yard punch-in to give the Panthers a 16-14 lead over the heavily-favorited Eagles.
Chuba for the lead! He goes over the 1,000-yard mark this season
