Dowdle Leads Panthers in Rushing, Receiving Yards with 10 Touches

Rico Dowdle rushed six times for 38 yards and brought in all four targets for 36 yards in the Panthers' 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday night. He paced the Panthers in both rushing and receiving yards despite game script significantly limiting his opportunities on the ground. His carry total was his lowest since Week 1, but this was strictly an outlier. Dowdle should have a chance to bounce back in a Week 13 home matchup against the Rams on Sunday.
