Carolina returned to the well that yielded so much success in 2015 and played the same corps of running backs this season: Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert, Fozzy Whittaker and Cameron Artis-Payne. Stewart led the way with 824 yards and nine touchdowns, far and away the biggest contributor of the group. Tolbert is the NFC’s Pro Bowl fullback for the second time in three years, and Whittaker notched his first career 100-yard game. Artis-Payne had a two-touchdown game but was inactive 13 times.
STAT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 113.
