Carolina Panthers vs. Green Bay Packers game recap: Everything we know from Week 8

Unlike their triumphant showing at Lambeau Field around the same time last year, the Carolina Panthers couldn't pull out a win against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.

Here's everything we know from the rough Week 8 loss . . .

Final score

Packers 27, Panthers 19

Keys to the game

  • Quarterback Bryce Young faced constant pressure throughout the night, forcing the Panthers to shorten up their offensive approach. He averaged just 5.1 yards per attempt and recorded six sacks.

  • The offense couldn't take advantage of the edge in the turnover battle. Carolina scored just three points off their three takeaways.

  • Packers quarterback Jordan Love kept his unit moving, completing 30 of his 41 throws for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Green Bay converted on nine of their 16 third-down attempts.

It was over when . . .

After a gutsy 12-play, 70-yard touchdown drive kept them alive, the Panthers would get the ball back—down 27-19—with 4:35 left in the game. The offense, however, would turn it over on downs on just four plays—ending with an incomplete pass on a fourth-and-5 intended for wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.

Carolina then got a last breath from their own 20-yard line with 22 seconds remaining. But a sack of Young on the first play of the desperation drive crushed any sliver of hope that may have been left.

Players of the game

  • RB Chuba Hubbard: 22 carries, 81 rushing yards, rushing touchdown, seven receptions, 38 receiving yards

  • S Zakee Wheatley: seven tackles, interception

  • S Nick Scott: five tackles, forced fumble, two passes defensed

What's next?

The Panthers (3-4) will return home to host the Denver Broncos (5-2) in Week 9.
