Christian McCaffrey Makes History, Hailed By NFL Fans as 49ers Hold Off Falcons in Win

Christian McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 20–10 on Sunday, capped by a late-game touchdown from CMC.

McCaffrey’s historic night included rushing for both touchdowns and 129 yards on the ground, along with 72 receiving yards, marking his seventh career game with at least 100 rushing yards and 70 receiving yards, breaking a tie with Marshall Faulk and Priest Holmes for the most games.

Standing in for an injured Brock Purdy, Mac Jones completed 17-of-26 passes for 152 yards and one interception.

CMC thrilled fans with his historic performance that carried the 49ers to a win on Sunday.

It was a scoreless first quarter until the Falcons opened the second with a field goal to take a 3-0 lead. 

Both teams committed turnovers in the second, but the 49ers capitalized, adding a field goal after an earlier touchdown to head into halftime with a 10-3 advantage.

The 49ers opened the second half with a field goal, and the Falcons answered with a touchdown to stay within reach, trailing by three heading into the fourth quarter.

Despite punting on their opening fourth-quarter possession, San Francisco stopped Atlanta on downs at their 35-yard line and capitalized with a McCaffrey touchdown to take a commanding 10 points lead with just under 2:30 left to seal the win.

The win improved the 49ers to 5–2 on the season, tying them with the Los Angeles Rams for first place in the NFC West. Meanwhile, the Falcons fell to 3–3 and dropped in the NFC South standings.

The 49ers will hit the road next Sunday to face the Houston Texans.
