Rico Dowdle Scores TD Amidst Inefficient Rushing Performance

Rico Dowdle rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, adding five receiving yards on one target in the Panthers' 20-17 loss to the Saints. He reclaimed the lead-back role, out-touching Chuba Hubbard, but averaged under 4.0 yards per carry for the fourth time in five games. This was his first touchdown since Week 10.
