The Carolina Panthers suffered a 27-19 defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers, and running back Chubba Hubbard expressed his extreme frustration over his team's fourth loss of the season.
Early in the game, the Packers fumbled, giving the Panthers a prime position to get into the red zone and score. Unfortunately, it resulted in just a field goal. They had another fumble recovery later and an interception, but they yielded zero points.
Following the loss, Hubbard was asked about the Panthers being unable to get more than three points off the three turnovers they created.

"We just gotta do a better job executing. Against a great team like Green Bay, when you get opportunities like those, you gotta make the most of them. That's how you put a team away," he shared.
"It's unfortunate. [Expletive] I'm just pissed off to be honest, but all I can do is just go back to work," Hubbard told reporters in the locker room.

The Panthers finished with 258 yards of offense. Hubbard handled almost all of the rushing in the game with 22 carries to finish with 81 rushing yards and a touchdown. He also had seven receptions for 38 receiving yards as one of Bryce Young's targets in the game.
However, Carolina's quarterback struggled, getting sacked six times in the game and intercepted once. Young completed 23 of 41 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown pass to teammate Jalen Coker on a fourth-down conversion.
Carolina showed signs of life with Coker's touchdown in the fourth quarter, but they failed to convert on a two-point conversion. Still, they only trailed Green Bay on the road by eight points. The Packers wisely ran down the clock and left the Panthers little time to work with at the end of the fourth quarter.
The Panthers fell to 3-4 with the loss, which has them tied with the Atlanta Falcons, also 3-4, for the division lead. Carolina will look to bounce back from this, but they'll face the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 8.
Denver currently allows 20.1 points per game to opponents, which ranks seventh-best in the NFL. That could mean another long day for Young, Hubbard, and the Panthers, with some optimism, potentially because it takes place at Carolina's home venue.
