Carolina Panthers QB Sam Darnold registered his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on Sunday against Dallas Cowboys and now has more rushing scores than passing TDs this season.

He is the first QB in NFL history with five-plus rushing TDs in his team’s first four games of a season.

Darnold scored on a 1-yard option keeper to get the Panthers even with the Dallas Cowboys at 7-all. It was the quarterback’s fourth rushing score of the year to go with three TD passes.

Meanwhile, rookie Chuba Hubbard, who had a solid first quarter, is his first career start for injured star running back Christian McCaffrey. Hubbard played collegiately not too far away at Oklahoma State.

Hubbard has four carries for 29 yards, the longest a 14-yarder on the 75-yard scoring drive that ended with Darnold’s TD. McCaffrey is out with a hamstring injury for “few a weeks,” as per the Panthers.

But Dallas star receiver Amari Cooper exited early against Carolina with a right hamstring injury. Cooper has been playing with cracked ribs since the opener.

The Cowboys’ leader in catches coming in was on the sideline without his helmet before the team’s second offensive possession started. The team said his return was questionable.
