CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Christian McCaffrey, with a towel wrapped around his waist and disappointment wrapped around his face, sat in front of his locker at Lambeau Field in stunned silence on Sunday.
He’d come within inches of giving the Carolina Panthers a chance to tie the Green Bay Packers on the last play of a game played in blizzard-like conditions in the NFL’s most storied stadium.
That inch felt like a mile for a running back who leads the league with 153.9 yards from scrimmage per game, 109.9 yards rushing per game and 11 rushing touchdowns.
