Fifteen games into his career in San Francisco, Christian McCaffrey is already among the 49ers greats.
The All-Pro running back opened up Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals with a one-yard touchdown run to give San Francisco an early 7-0 lead.The score marked the 13th straight game including the playoffs that McCaffrey's scored a touchdown in a 49ers uniform. That breaks an all-time franchise record that was previously held by none other than Jerry Rice, the Hall of Fame receiver whose best scoring stretch consisted of 12 straight games, a mark that had stood since 1987.
McCaffrey celebrated the achievement by tacking on another score on San Francisco's next possession. On first-and-10 from Arizona's 18-yard line, quarterback Brock Purdy looked to McCaffrey on a swing pass in the backfield. McCaffrey did the work from there, eluding Cardinals defenders while following his blockers to the end zone to secure a 14-0 49ers edge.And he wasn't done.
