Tetairoa McMillan snagged his second touchdown catch of the night, vaulting the Panthers into a 22-16 lead over the Lions early in the third quarter after Carolina’s opening possession.

The “Took It Personally” Revenge Tour

Remember last week? McMillan was bottled up against Cleveland, just two catches for a measly 17 yards. He must have taken that personally, because he’s been an absolute beast tonight. His first scoring strike against the Lions was a 32-yard bomb, setting the tone for this insane performance. Then he followed it up with that 10-yard TD grab to kick off the second half. This isn’t just a good game, this is a statement.

Shattering Career Bests Before the Fourth Quarter Even Starts

With that second touchdown, McMillan has already racked up a staggering 11 catches for 162 yards on the night. Think about that: he entered Week 4 with 12 catches for 193 yards total and zero touchdowns. He’s already blown past his previous career highs of eight receptions and 130 yards in a single game. The dude is putting on a clinic, and the Lions’ secondary looks completely dazed.

What else can McMillan do with the rest of this game? He’s already shown he can elevate his play and leave his previous bests in the dust. We’ll be watching to see if he can keep adding to these ridiculous numbers and push his personal record even further.
