The Carolina Panthers were able to get Christian McCaffrey back in Week 9 and he's picking back up from where he left off earlier in the season. After a time-consuming first drive of the game, McCaffrey scored his first touchdown since suffering his injury in Week 2.

Back in Week 2 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, McCaffrey suffered a high-ankle sprain that would sideline him through Week 8. But on his first drive back, McCaffrey was able to get back into the end zone, giving him five touchdowns in only three games.

While the Panthers chose to go for it on fourth down, McCaffrey was wide open on the flat. Teddy Bridgewater floated a pass to the All-Pro running back and he was able to walk into the end zone to give Carolina an early lead over Kansas City.

For the Panthers to stay within striking distance of the Chiefs, they'll need more production from McCaffrey for the rest of the game.
