Panthers players react to their stunning upset of the Packers in Week 9

The Carolina Panthers may have proven that they’ve finally turned a corner in Week 9, by pulling off the biggest upset of the 2025 NFL season.

On Sunday, the two-touchdown underdogs turned Lambeau Field upside down—triumphing over the heavily-favored, NFC-leading Green Bay Packers in a 16-13 win. The victory was clinched, as the game clock run out, by a 49-yard field goal from rookie Ryan Fitzgerald—who has now recorded two walk-off kicks this year.

Carolina’s stunner was also headlined by running back Rico Dowdle, who rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns, and a stingy defense that turned a potent Packers offense away in four of their five red-zone visits.

Now, the Panthers stand at 5-4, and are winners in four of their last five outings. And that, obviously, has them feeling awfully great.

Here are some of the best reactions from the team following their successful trip up north . . .
