Elijah Mitchell Leads 49ers In Rushing In Divisional Round
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell led the team in rushing with 51 yards on 14 carries in the Niners' 19-12 Divisional Round victory over the Dallas Cowboys. This was the second time the 24-year-old has gotten double digit carries this season and the third time he outcarried Christian McCaffrey. As is usual, however, Mitchell was not involved in the passing game. Brock Purdy did not look his way once. The 49ers move on to face the Eagles in the NFC Championship next week. Because the Eagles are also a formidable defense, coach Kyle Shanahan will likely try to stick to the run as much as possible.
