Yesterday Christian McCaffrey, Kyle Allen, and the Carolina Defense led the Panthers to their second win of the season against the Texans.
Our defense was unrelenting against against a normally explosive offense, holding the Texans to just 264 total yards, star QB Deshaun Watson to just 160 passing yards, and WR DeAndre Hopkins to just 5 catches for 41 yards.
In spite of several sacks and fumbles, the offense still managed to score 4 times (1 touchdown and 3 field goals).
Perhaps two of the most impressive plays of the game on offense were Allen’s ninja duck against JJ Watt…

and McCaffrey’s juggle-catch on 3rd and 6 to just barely give the Panthers a needed 1st down;
JUST WOW!

Yesterday’s game also put both McCaffrey and Allen in the record books;
Christian McCaffrey now has six career games with at least 10 receptions, tying Larry Centers and LaDainian Tomlinson for the most career games with double digit receptions by a RB.
So, yeah, McCaffrey will probably break that record.

Per the NFL, Kyle Allen has now joined Carson Wentz as the only QBs in the Super Bowl era to go 3-0 with no INTs in their first three career starts.
