Watch: Panthers' rookie McCaffrey scores 1st career TD vs. Lions

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Christian McCaffrey may have been starting to wonder what he needed to do to score an NFL touchdown. He had already recorded a 100-yard receiving game, but through four games had failed to find the end zone.

In the end, it may have been easier than he expected.

McCaffrey took a shovel pass from quarterback Cam Newton at the Detroit Lions' six-yard line and scampered the rest of the way untouched for his first career touchdown.
