Christian McCaffrey Completes Three-TD Hat Trick
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey ran for 94 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries in the Niners' blowout victory over the Los Angeles Rams. He also added a passing touchdown and a receiving touchdown, making him the first player to score TDs through all channels of the offense in one game since LaDainian Tomlinson did it in 2005. He ended the game with eight catches for 55 yards, showing he is being utilized more as a receiver than other RBs in Kyle Shanahan's offense have been. His one pass was completed to Brandon Aiyuk for a 34-yard touchdown. While McCaffrey might not be used consistently as a passer after opponents get used to the trickery, his role in the receiving game should remain consistent.
