Run CMC? Panthers beat Bengals behind huge game from McCaffrey. Social media reacts.

Remember last week, when many in Panther nation fretted that Christian McCaffrey was catching ball too much and not running enough, especially between the tackles?

Well, all that changed in Sunday’s 31-21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. McCaffrey busted big run after big run against a Bengals defense that never could stop him.

McCaffrey had 28 carries for a career-high 184 yards.

Meanwhile, the Bengals had to play the second half without star receiver A.J. Green, who went out with a groin injury, and Cincinnati never could get its run game going. Gio Bernard ran 12 times for 61 yards.
