One reason Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule was excited to have Christian McCaffrey back after the Pro Bowl running back missed six games with a high ankle sprain was to improve the team's red zone struggles.
He got quick results.
McCaffrey capped Carolina's opening possession on Sunday against Kansas City with a short catch from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on fourth-and-3 from the Kansas City 3-yard line. He waltzed untouched into the end zone to give the Panthers a 7-0 lead.
