Jake Delhomme was eager to make up for the worst game of his career. He settled for handing off to his two dynamic running backs.
Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams bolted through huge holes in a record-setting day on the ground for the Carolina Panthers, who needed that dominance to hold off the winless Detroit Lions 31-22 on Sunday.
The numbers were staggering. Stewart rushed for a career-high 130 yards and a touchdown. Williams added 120 yards and two more scores, marking the first time in the Panthers’ 14-year history that two backs went over 100 yards in the same game.
