There was good and bad to take away in the Carolina Panthers’ 30-27 season opener loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The good? Christian McCaffrey. The third-year running back turned in one of his best games yet when he posted over 200 yards from scrimmage and scored two touchdowns on the ground. Another good? Cam Newton played the full 60 minutes. There were questions lingering around Newton’s shoulder and ankle before entering the game. Neither seemed to affect Newton throughout the game despite a less than exciting performance from the franchise quarterback.
