"You San Francisco 49ers have usually not had much to worry about on weekends when the traditionally woeful Atlanta Falcons come to town. But the Atlanta Falcons team that come to town on Sunday night was fresh off shocking the very good Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football last week, with their emerging running back Bijan Robinson looking like the league's big new star and piling up 170 yards combined rushing and receiving in that game."
"But 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey outperformed even Bijan Robinson's big game last week, with McCaffrey racking up 129 yards rushing and another 72 yards receiving Sunday night (201 total yeards). That led to a 20-10 49ers win on NBC's big nationally televised Sunday Night Football game, and the awful Carrie Underwood song and terrible analysis of Chris Collinsworth-less that comes with that prime-time slot. (Late in the third quarter, Collinsworth called the Falcons' Robinson unstoppable on a play on which he gained two yards)."
Christian McCaffrey totaled 129 rushing yards and 72 receiving yards for 201 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-10 San Francisco victory over Atlanta. San Francisco played without Brock Purdy, Nick Bosa, and Fred Warner. McCaffrey accounted for 14 first downs in the game and leads the league with 52 first downs on the season. Atlanta entered the game fresh off an upset of Buffalo and with Bijan Robinson emerging as a dual-threat runner. San Francisco's defense limited Atlanta scoring and preserved a halftime lead en route to the win.
