WATCH: Panthers game on fourth down with McCaffrey and get back into game at Tampa Bay
The Carolina Panthers are fighting back.
After trailing 21-0 at halftime to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Panthers could’ve fallen behind 28-0 to start the third quarter, but a Donte Jackson interception led the Panthers’ first touchdown.
Then, a fourth-and-2 run by Christian McCaffrey early in the fourth quarter has made this a game.
The Panthers drove to the Tampa 7 and lined up for a fourth-down play. McCaffrey went in motion and Matt Rhule, the first-year Panthers coach, called timeout before the play began.
After the timeout, McCaffrey took a two-handed toss from Bridgewater and ran it in. Carolina trailed 21-14 with more than 13 minutes to play.
The drive was 13 plays, 86 yards and took 6 minutes, 19 seconds. McCaffrey scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the season.
