Panthers running back Rico Dowdle is having a career day against the Dolphins and he pushed his team into the lead in the fourth quarter.
Dowdle scored from a yard out and the Panthers now lead 20-17 with 6:10 left to play. The Dolphins led the game 17-0 in the second quarter, but their offense has disappeared since tight end Darren Waller’s touchdown catch.
Dowdle set up the score with a 43-yard run and he now has 20 carries for 185 yards on the day. That’s a career high for Dowdle, who is playing a larger role this week with Chuba Hubbard out of action.
The Panthers also benefitted from a hip-drop tackle penalty on Dolphins defensive end Chop Robinson.
The Dolphins have picked up two first downs while punting on five straight possessions. They have time to rally back for a win, but it remains to be seen if their offense can find anything that works.
