And he’s hoping the Panthers fans who made the effort to travel across the pond enjoy their time as well, particularly on Sunday at Tottenham Stadium.
“It’s pretty outstanding that people flew to Europe just to watch us play,” McCaffrey said. “I know we’re extremely appreciative of all the Panthers fans who traveled and all the Panthers fans here.
“Our guys are focused and ready to go out there and get a win.”
To get that win, the Panthers are likely going to need to run the ball better than they did in the first meeting against Tampa Bay.
McCaffrey was limited to 37 rush yards on 16 carries, by far his lowest output of the year. The Buccaneers have been very stingy against the run through the first five games, allowing a league-best 3.12 yards per attempt.
"We just have to be efficient," McCaffrey said. "There is not some secret formula, it comes down to completing passes, being efficient on first and second down and making plays when the ball is in your hands. It’s a huge effort going against a run defense like this and it’s really important to trust your technique, trust your eyes, trust your gaps."
