Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 6 win over Eagles

Chuba Hubbard and rising a rookie led the way for the Panthers in their best PFF grades from Week 6.

Some may call it an ugly win and others may tell you that no win is ugly, but the Carolina Panthers' Week 6 performance was enough. Even with a sluggish first half and a franchise-record in penalty yardage, they powered through to a 25-14 triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

So, which players led the way?

Here are the game's best and worst Pro Football Focus grades for the Panthers . . .

Players listed recorded at least 10 offensive snaps or 10 defensive snaps.

Grades listed are provided by PFF as of 7:00 a.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 19.

Best of the offense

1. RB Chuba Hubbard: 76.3

2. TE Tommy Tremble: 75.5

3. WR John Metchie III: 69.3

4. WR Tetairoa McMillan: 69.2

5. TE Mitchell Evans: 69.1

Hubbard, who tied a career-high with 28 carries, rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown.

Speaking of career-highs, Tremble scored two touchdowns for the first time in his six-year NFL run.

Worst of the offense

10. LT Rasheed Walker: 54.9

11. C Luke Fortner: 54.2

12. LG Damien Lewis: 53.5

13. TE Darren Waller: 52.8

14. RG Robert Hunt: 41.1

Hunt earned a rock-solid 84.7 pass-blocking grade, but was also given a team-worst 39.8 in run blocking. He was also flagged for two ineligible man downfield penalties.

Lewis, in his return from an elbow injury, allowed a team-high four pressures. The 53.5 overall offensive grade is his lowest since Week 17 of the 2024 season.

Best of the defense

1. S Zakee Wheatley: 85.6

2. DT Derrick Brown: 75.3

3. ILB Devin Lloyd: 71.4

4. ILB Bobby Okereke: 69.3

5. DT Bobby Brown III: 68.5

In addition to the team-best overall defensive grade, Wheatley topped Carolina with a 78.8 coverage grade. He allowed one catch for four yards over three targets.

Okereke notched eight tackles, four stops, a sack and two passes defensed.

Worst of the defense

12. CB Will Lee III: 62.6

13. OLB Pat Jones II: 60.1

14. CB Akayleb Evans: 57.4

15. OLB Princely Umanmielen: 45.3

16. DT Aaron Hall: 41.2

Despite the low mark, Evans was much better this week than he was in the Week 4 win over the Detriot Lions. He was charged with three receptions for 20 yards over five targets.
