Week 12 action will resume on Monday when the Carolina Panthers travel to Levi’s Stadium to clash with the San Francisco 49ers.

The central storyline of the matchup revolves around Christian McCaffrey, who’ll face Carolina for the first time since departing the franchise in 2022.

He will take on a Panthers team led by Bryce Young, who led them to an overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 16. The quarterback threw for a career-high 448 yards and three touchdowns.

Carolina (6-5) is coming off several notable upsets in recent weeks, and the team is hoping to secure a late playoff push.
