Christian McCaffrey has been no stranger to the 49ers since he was traded in October and is now firmly established in the franchise record book.
With a 2-yard touchdown run in Sunday’s 19-12 win over the Dallas Cowboys at Levi’s Stadium, McCaffrey became the first player to score in eight straight games for the 49ers.
The running back scored San Francisco’s only touchdown of the NFC Division Round Game. This proved to make a difference in a hard-fought defensive matchup between the two rivals.
Owens scored in nine straight games during his 98th season, had 10 TD receptions in the final eight games of the regular season, and scored another in the 49ers’ wild card victory over the Green Bay Packers on January 3, 1999. Recorded.
Meanwhile, McCaffrey has lived up to his reputation as a dual-threat offensive weapon, with 5 TDs on the ground and 5 more in the air in the 49ers’ last eight games.
With Sunday’s win, San Francisco will advance to its third NFC Championship Game in four seasons before heading to Philadelphia next weekend to face the No. 1-seeded Eagles.
