The Stanford Cardinal product carried the ball 22 times for 152 yards rushing with one touchdown. McCaffrey added three catches for 17 yards through the air. McCaffrey’s touchdown came on a long 60-yard run to the endzone against the Steelers.
Buy 49ers TicketsNext up for the 49ers, is a divisional contest against the Los Angeles Rams. The last time the Niners met the Rams, McCaffrey had a field day with a passing touchdown, rushing touchdown and receiving touchdown.
Before meeting the Rams, Deebo Samuel praised McCaffrey’s past performance against the Rams.
He’s like a Swiss Army knife. Kyle does a really good job of putting him in different positions and the way they get him the ball. I didn’t play that game. I was just watching. It was really cool to just sit back and see how he attacks the game and the way he approaches the game.
