San Francisco 49ers: Christian McCaffrey comes up big against his former team on off night for QB Brock Purdy
"When it comes to playing in the league, you have to approach each week as similar as possible, stay in your routine. You can't get too far outside of what's normal for you, so I try to do that. Obviously when you see familiar faces, it's always good to see them before the game and after the game. But that's a completely new team than when I was there, so it's really just business once the ball is snapped."
"Honestly the decisions of going to those spots, I was fine with, it was just the execution of throwing a better ball. My read just took me to where I threw the ball. From what I saw up on the big screen, I thought the guys were there. I just missed the throws, to be honest. So got to go back and watch the film and actually see what happened."
The San Francisco 49ers improved to 8-4 by defeating the Carolina Panthers 20-9. Christian McCaffrey finished with 142 scrimmage yards on 31 touches and a touchdown, supplying the bulk of the offense. Brock Purdy threw three first-half interceptions and struggled with accuracy early, but he steadied as the game progressed. McCaffrey, who left Carolina three years ago, said he kept his routine and felt no extra motivation against his former team, noting familiar faces but emphasizing business when the ball is snapped. Purdy credited McCaffrey's preparation and said he must review film to correct missed throws.
