Christian McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 48 yards in the 49ers’ Wild Card win over the Eagles, adding six receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns.

Again middling on the ground, McCaffrey was again sensational through the air, catching touchdown passes from both Brock Purdy and Jauan Jennings. The latter was a 29-yard trick play (obviously) strike that required McCaffrey to make an acrobatic grab at the goal line. McCaffrey’s rushing efficiency is in undeniable decline, but his receiving becomes even more of a Divisional Round X-factor with George Kittle (Achilles) lost for the season. We have no doubt coach Klye Shanahan will do everything he can to put CMC in position to make plays through the air.
