The Carolina Panthers have found themselves in an entirely too familiar situation: their offensive production is derived solely from the talents of one player. From 2011 through 2017, that player was Cam Newton. 2019 is poised to be the year of Christian McCaffrey. In an effort to hide Newton’s injuries through the first two weeks and Kyle Allen’s inexperience over the last two weeks, McCaffrey has racked up an alarming share of offensive touches.
Against Houston, he out touched the rest of the Carolina Panthers offense combined. He received 27 carries to Curtis Samuel’s one and everybody else’s zero.
