"Each game, you never know what's going to happen, 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey said Wednesday. Each day is about getting better, having emotional stamina and mental stamina to withstand the year. And that means when you win, you forget about it and move on, and when you lose, you correct the mistakes and move on. It's been a slog for McCaffrey all year other than his 29-carry, 124-yard game against the Falcons."
"In theory, that's where the Giants come in. They're ranked No. 30 in the NFL against the run at 148.9 yards per game, and are coming off a game in which the Philadelphia Eagles rushed for 276 yards on 33 carries with two backs over 100 yards. Saquon Barkley opened the game with a 65-yard touchdown run and had 150 yards on 14 carries, with Tank Bigsby adding 104 on nine attempts."
The 49ers shifted from 39 rushes for 174 yards against Atlanta to just 10 carries for 35 yards in a loss to the Texans. Game circumstances and falling behind limited offensive snaps to 44, tying a franchise low for rushing attempts. Christian McCaffrey has struggled outside his 29-carry performance versus the Falcons, totaling eight carries for 25 yards against Houston. Time of possession favored opponents, with the Giants holding the ball 41:22 in one game under Shanahan. The Giants rank near the bottom of the league against the run and recently allowed 276 rushing yards to the Eagles.
