CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – The frustration boiled over a day after the Halloween nightmare in which the Carolina Panthers’ once-vaunted running game managed 25 yards against St. Louis and plummeted to 28th in the league.
A running back answered a question from a reporter with one of his own, asking, “Did you see any holes?”
While it’s too late to salvage a lousy season, the running lanes look big these days and the gaudy ground numbers have returned.
Jonathan Stewart rushed for 137 yards in the Panthers’ 19-12 win over Arizona on Sunday. Stewart had 133 a week earlier when Carolina had 212 yards rushing against Atlanta.
When Stewart was hurt, little-used Mike Goodson went for 120 and 100 yards in consecutive games. It’s helped the Panthers jump to 12th in the league in rushing.
