Bye Week Banter: Ranking the 10 best plays of the Panthers' season (so far)

[Sir Purr]

The Breakdown: The Panthers led the Texans 13-10 early in the fourth quarter, but were facing a third-and-7 deep in their own territory. So, like any good quarterback knows to do on third-and-long, Allen found a way to get the ball to McCaffrey on a drag across the field. The four-yard route wouldn't have been enough to pick up the first down, but luckily for the Panthers, McCaffrey bobbled the ball, tipping it up to himself before diving to make the catch and sliding head-first across the first down line. McCaffrey does a lot of incredible things, but that combination of athleticism, concentration and awareness was next level CMC. The first down may not have resulted in a touchdown, but it did let the Panthers chew four more minutes off the clock before setting up the next top play.
