Green Bay improved to 5-3 after surviving early miscues and a shaky finish, turning a 27-10 lead into a 27-19 Thursday night win at Lambeau Field.
Jordan Love went 30-of-41 for 288 yards and three touchdowns, spreading at least six catches to four targets, while his late interception was the main blemish on an otherwise sharp night.
The defense drove the result by sacking Bryce Young six times, forcing an interception and stopping two second-half fourth downs at midfield to blunt Carolina's comeback.
Ty'Ron Hopper delivered the standout defensive performance with eight tackles, three pass breakups, two QB hits and a tipped-ball interception that set up a touchdown before halftime.
Christian Watson returned after an ambulance trip and a broken rib to finish with 113 yards, but Green Bay's run game remained a concern with just 48 yards on 25 carries.
