EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart set a franchise record by rushing for 206 yards and topped 1,000 yards against the New York Giants, giving Carolina only the fifth pair of 1,000-yard backs in league history.
DeAngelo Williams, who was inactive Sunday, has rushed for 1,117 yards this season. Steward pushed his total to 1,008 yards with his effort in the Panthers’ 41-9 victory.
Stewart’s single-game total broke Williams’ old mark of 186 yards set against Tampa Bay last season.
The 206 yards rushing was the most by a Giants opponent in a game at Giants Stadium. It was the third-highest total by a Giants opponent in team history, trailing only Cliff Battles (215) of the Boston Redskins in 1933 and Terry Miller (208) of the Buffalo Bills in 1978.
