The San Francisco 49ers are back from their bye week and facing the Las Vegas Raiders at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Even with several key players, including Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk, sidelined, the 49ers offense didn’t miss a beat in the first half. Much of that success came from the dominance of running back Christian McCaffrey.
McCaffrey serves as a workhorse in the backfield as a runner, but he’s also a safety blanket for quarterback Brock Purdy as a pass catcher.
49ers Make Announcement on McCaffrey
San Francisco took a 21-10 lead into halftime, and McCaffrey made some NFL history during the first two quarters.
He rushed 13 times for 56 yards and a touchdown while adding one reception for 12 yards and another touchdown through the air. That performance put him in an exclusive category of his own.
After McCaffrey scored his second touchdown, the 49ers announced that he now holds the record for the most receiving touchdowns by a running back in the Super Bowl era.
“He’s sitting at the top,” the 49ers posted on X.
