The San Francisco 49ers primetime win over the Atlanta Falcons marked a new historic milestone for NFL RB Christian McCaffrey.
It’s the family business that 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan inherited from his dad, Super Bowl-winning coach Mike Shanahan. It’s that synchronized ballet of an offensive line firing off the ball in unison, moving left or right, attacking space first and defenders second.
San Francisco lost Brendel to a hamstring injury and Green to a toe injury. Typically, hamstrings will be multiple-week injuries, and Brendel was declared out early into the game, so there is a good chance the team will be without him in Week 8.
The San Francisco 49ers have dealt with a barrage of injuries in the first half of the season, but they are finally getting one of their best players back at full health. Star tight end George Kittle has been activated off of injured reserved ahead of the team's Week 7 game against the Atlanta Falcons.
