In tonight’s Thursday Night Football game against the New York Giants, Christian McCaffrey has the chance to equalize a record established by wide receiver Jerry Rice in 1987.
If McCaffrey manages to reach the opposing team’s end zone, he will tie Rice’s record for the longest scoring streak in the 49ers’ franchise history.
During the first two weeks of the 2023 regular season, McCaffrey showcased his talents against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Rams. He carried the ball 42 times, totaling 268 yards. With two touchdowns and an impressive average of 6.4 yards per carry, McCaffrey’s performances have contributed significantly to the 49ers’ unbeaten record of two wins.
An interesting highlight of Christian McCaffrey’s early-season dominance is that he currently leads the NFL in total yards after two games.
