Running Back: B

Christian McCaffrey highlighted the opening drive for Carolina, capping a 15-play, 85-yard march down the field with a seven yard touchdown reception. His seventh score of the season, McCaffrey continues to positively impact the Panthers offense.

A week after scoring three touchdowns, Jonathan Stewart never really got on track. While the game script and passing strikes kept his red zone carries to a minimum, Stewart only generated 27 yards on his 11 carries.

Fellow running back Fozzy Whittaker added a single three-yard carry in the second half.
