CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers may be having a down season, but Christian McCaffrey is having a record-breaking one.
The eighth pick of the 2017 draft broke the NFL's single-season receiving record for a running back on Sunday during Carolina's 24-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Matt Forte had 102 catches in 2014 for the Chicago Bears. McCaffrey topped that in the third quarter with his ninth catch of the game, then added three more to bring his season tally to 106.
