ATLANTA – Chuba Hubbard’s first carry was about as bad as it gets: A fumble recovered by the Atlanta Falcons.
The Carolina Panthers running back was feeling a lot better by the end of the game Sunday.
Zane Gonzalez kicked four field goals and Hubbard scored on a 6-yard run with 6 1/2 minutes remaining to seal Carolina’s 19-13 win over the Falcons, snapping a four-game skid for the Panthers.
Hubbard wasn’t flustered after Deion Jones stripped the ball from him on the very first play from scrimmage, leading to a Falcons’ field goal.
“What’s next?” Hubbard said, describing his state of mind. “Whether it’s a high or a low, I’m moving on.”
