VIDEO: Watch Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey Demolish Titans in 3-Touchdown Performance
By Michael Luciano
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey "allegedly" had a tough matchup against a Tennessee Titans defense that isn't super friendly to opposing running backs. But McCaffrey spent the afternoon bulldozing that unit, as he piled up three total touchdowns and 146 rushing yards, 58 of which came on this long touchdown run to lead the Panthers to a 30-20 win.
McCaffrey got the scoring started in the second quarter, as he found himself wide open on a fourth-down play. Kyle Allen flipped to him in the flat, and Carolina took a 10-0 lead.
McCaffrey is proving with each passing game that concern about his ability to run between the tackles was overhyped, as he plunged this one in from a yard out to give the Panthers a 24-7 advantage.
Altogether, McCaffrey registered 166 total yards. His ascension to superstardom is continuing, and if there's any non-QB that has a claim to the MVP trophy, it's him.
