Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard reaches career milestone in Week 14

For the first time in his NFL career, Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard is a 1,000-yard rusher.

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-favored Eagles.

Hubbard—at the conclusion of the 12-play, 58-yard drive—now sits at 1,004 rushing yards on the campaign. His previous career-high came last season, when he ran for 902 yards and five scores.
