McCaffrey scored a pair of touchdowns and picked up 173 yards from scrimmage in a 34-24 win over the Giants. It was the 16th time that McCaffrey has scored a rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game and that broke a tie with Marshall Faulk for the most in NFL history.
Christian McCaffrey caught a touchdown pass from Mac Jones, rushed for another score and the San Francisco 49ers got back on track by running all over the New York Giants on the way to a 34-24 victory.
But while Purdy has taken steps in the right direction, there's a real chance that even when he does return, he won't be 100%, coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged after Sunday's 34-24 win against the New York Giants.
Last week, the 49ers barely managed 10 total plays before halftime against the Houston Texans. On Sunday, however, the team walked into MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., and rolled over the New York Giants in a dominant 34-24 win to improve San Francisco’s record to 6-3. The Giants dropped to 2-7.
The New York Giants play host to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in a battle of teams missing multiple star players on both sides of the ball. New York lost not just the game but an important piece of the puzzle last week against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles as rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a dislocated ankle that will knock him out for the remainder of the season.
