In my eyes, that's the MVP." McCaffrey finished the game with 18 carries for 115 yards and one touchdown, also catching all five of his targets for 72 yards and two receiving scores. The All-Pro leads the league with nearly 1,300 yards rushing, an average of over 92 yards per game and 1,801 yards from scrimmage.
