Panthers' Christian McCaffrey sets RB catch record with 103
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers may be having a down season, but Christian McCaffrey is having a record-breaking one.
The eighth pick of the 2017 draft on Sunday broke the NFL's single-season receiving record for a running back in Carolina's NFC South game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Matt Forte had 102 catches in 2014 for the Chicago Bears. McCaffrey topped that in the third quarter with his ninth catch of the game.
McCaffrey also became the third back in NFL history to surpass 100 catches and 1,000 yards rushing in a single season. LaDainian Tomlinson and Forte were the other two.
