Lambeau got loud, but Carolina got the last word. The Panthers rolled into Green Bay as double‑digit underdogs and left with a 16–13 stunner, sealed by Ryan Fitzgerald’s ice‑cold 49‑yard dagger with one second left. Most folks had this circled as a Packers walkover — a lot of picks leaned Green Bay and the line was hefty — but the Cats flipped the script. Oh, and Bryce Young was back from that ankle sprain just in time to steer the upset bus. (nfl.com)

Early on, Jordan Love had the Packers humming between the 20s — a 51‑yard splash to Christian Watson and two Brandon McManus boots put Green Bay on the board — but Carolina never blinked. Rico Dowdle set the tone with chunk runs, and Young hit Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette to keep chains moving. The payoff came late in the half when Dowdle punched in a 5‑yard score for a 7–6 edge at the break.

The game flipped for real in the third: Tre’von Moehrig jumped a route for a big pick, Carolina cashed it in, and Dowdle bulldozed the goal line again. A missed PAT kept it 13–6, leaving the door open — and Josh Jacobs walked through with a late TD to tie it 13–13. But with the Lambeau chill biting and the clock bleeding, Young stayed poised, Dowdle ripped a 19‑yard burst, and Fitzgerald put the whole house on mute from 49.

Stat check: Dowdle: 25 carries, 130 yards, 2 TDs. Young wasn’t flashy but mistake‑free when it mattered (11/20, 102 yards). Green Bay piled up yards — Jordan Love 26/37, 273 yards; Romeo Doubs 7 catches, 91 yards — but the Panthers’ defense tightened in the red zone and stole a heavyweight’s lunch on the road. And for the cherry on top, this came against a Packers team many pegged as the week’s safest pick. Upset flavor? That’s dill‑icious. (nfl.com)

Big Dill of the Game: Rico Dowdle (25‑130‑2) — the Lambeau snowplow who turned cold grass into a runway. This is Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, reminding you: ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next time.
