The 49ers are 4-0 for the fifth time in franchise history, with their latest win coming Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals at Levi’s Stadium.
San Francisco 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey scores a touchdown, his second of the game, against Arizona Cardinals’ Jalen Thompson in the second quarter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023.
McCaffrey nearly matched the franchise’s single-game touchdown record, but a potential fifth score was denied at the 2-yard line on a 2-yard run in the final minutes, and rather than give him the ball again, coach Kyle Shanahan called for a Brock Purdy sneak from inside the 1 to cap the scoring spree.
This win, the 49ers’ 14th in a row in regular-season action, should go down in franchise lore, however, as McCaffrey’s Four-Score Address, which saw him compile 106 rushing yards and 71 receiving yards . Not only did McCaffrey extend his NFL rushing lead , his seven overall touchdowns this season put him in a tie for the league’s most with Raheem Mostert, formerly of the 49ers and now on the Miami Dolphins.Touchdown No. 4: A 2-yard, uncontested dash up the middle completed a strangely necessary touchdown drive. The Cardinals had just pulled within 21-16 when the 49ers answered with a 75-yard drive, starting with a 34-yard shot from Purdy to Brandon Aiyuk.
Touchdown No. 1: The 49ers couldn’t have scripted a much better opening act. Their defense forced a three-and-out , then a 7-0 lead was in place thanks to McCaffrey’s 1-yard touchdown run to cap a 62-yard opening series. That officially made for McCaffrey’s 13th consecutive game with a touchdown, a matching the scoring streaks of Dallas’ Emmitt Smith and Houston’s Arian Foster .
Michael Wilson, a rookie out of Stanford, scored not only that first Cardinals touchdown , but he pulled the Cardinals within 21-16 on an 8-yard touchdown catch 4:12 before the fourth quarter. Wilson’s second score saw him slide past linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who missed the previous snap after aggravating a left-ankle injury.
