The first five weeks of Tetairoa McMillan’s NFL tenure in Carolina featured 100-yard games, chain-moving catches, statement wins — almost everything a receiver could hope to attain, outside of one thing: a milestone touchdown catch. In Week 6, Carolina’s up-and-coming wideout checked off that box and then some with a two-touchdown effort against the Dallas Cowboys. The endzone party began with a 19-yard, game-tying middle-of-the-field score, and then included another in the fourth, as McMillan demonstrated his clutch gene on a go-ahead, two-yard touchdown. Oct. 12, 2025 became one to remember for the No. 8 pick, as he finished with a three-catch, 29-yard, two-touchdown afternoon, propelling the Panthers to a 30-27 underdog win in the process.
