How the game played out

Yardage was close, 452 for Detroit and 445 for Carolina, but the Panthers scored touchdowns on 3 of 4 red zone trips. Detroit settled for four Bates field goals and came up empty on fourth down twice in the final quarter.

Trends to watch

• Detroit threw for 406 yards and ran only 15 times. When they trail, the volume goes through Goff and his pass catchers.
• Carolina held the ball for 33:15 and ran 28 times. Hubbard's workload looks steady.
• McMillan saw 16 of Young's 41 attempts. That share keeps his lines worth checking.
