Carolina's Rico Dowdle predicted he'd have a big game against Miami. Then he rushed for 206 yards

Rico Dowdle told his Carolina Panthers teammates last week that he'd run for 180 yards against the Miami Dolphins. Dowdle, who got his first start of the season in place of the injured Chuba Hubbard, had runs of 53 and 43 yards in the second half on Sunday and finished with a career-high 206 yards on 23 carries, tied for the second-highest rushing total in franchise history — only 5 yards shy of breaking DeAngelo Williams' single-game record. “I put trust in those guys up front,” Dowdle said after Carolina's 27-24 come-from-behind win.
