The 49ers offense soared at the end of last season and helped them cruise into the playoffs and through to the NFC championship game. While quarterback Brock Purdy’s insertion into the lineup during Week 13 played a role, running back Christian McCaffrey’s presence unlocked a slew of new things for San Francisco on the offensive side.
McCaffrey arrived with the 49ers in Week 7 last year, and caught up with the offense on the fly to have a major impact. Now he’s had a full offseason to soak in the offense and it’s making a difference according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
