For McCaffrey, it’s the second time this season where a game has ended with him coming up just short. Carolina’s Week 2 loss at home to Tampa Bay was similar in that regard.
This time it was Van Roten taking the blame for the play’s outcome. But McCaffrey always expects to make something happen when the ball is in his hands.
“It was tough,” McCaffrey said. “Just got to get in in that situation.”
It was a drive that started at their own 11-yard line. It took a conversion via tight end Greg Olsen on third-and-5 and another via wide receiver DJ Moore on fourth-and-10 to stay alive.
And with the snow coming down and the wind swirling, the Panthers were two yards away from a touchdown and a two-point try that could have sent the game to overtime.
They never got that chance.
“Kyle did a great job. Receivers made a bunch of big plays. Just got to finish,” McCaffrey said. “Just got to move on. Got to move on and get better.”
