That was the kind of complementary football that Kyle Shanahan always references. The offense ran the ball 39 times. The defense held the opposition to under 300 yards.

Christian McCaffrey

McCaffrey produced 13 first downs, including the game-sealing reception on third down to ice the game. He forced seven missed tackles, and that number is higher since some sites only count those when contact is made. McCaffrey didn’t just have a season high in 10+ yards against Atlanta. Coming into Week 7, he had six rushes of 10+ yards on the season. On Sunday night, McCaffrey had seven.
