Christian McCaffrey's brilliance gives Panthers hope for 2020

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers, as proven by the firing of coach Ron Rivera, have been bad this season.

Despite his team's struggles, running back Christian McCaffrey has been something special. The third-year running back, during Sunday’s 30-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, became the first Carolina player to top 2,000 yards from scrimmage in a season.

With a little luck over the last two games, McCaffrey can become the third player in NFL history to have 1,000 yards receiving and rushing in the same season -- something only Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk have done.
