Christian McCaffrey’s three-touchdown show last visit to Los Angeles has the Rams understandably weary of Sunday’s rematch with the 49ers.
SANTA CLARA — Christian McCaffrey was more than just an X-factor in his 49ers starting debut last year in Los Angeles. He was the X-Y-Z, seeing how he produced touchdowns as a passer, receiver and rusher.
“He is a pain in the neck. I feel like he’s following me,” Morris told Los Angeles reporters Thursday. “He was in the NFC South, then he followed me to the West, just to torture me a little bit more, right? You’re talking about one of the best who’s played in our game from a dual standpoint.”Last Oct.
“It’s like a Swiss Army Knife. Kyle does a really good job of putting him in different positions and the way they get him the ball,” said Samuel, whose versatility has been a staple of the offense, too. Brandon Aiyuk and Ray-Ray McCloud indeed threw blocks to clear McCaffrey’s path on a 65-yard touchdown run right after halftime Sunday, giving the 49ers the momentum for a 30-7 rout of the Steelers. McCaffrey’s debut produced a NFL-best 152 rushing yards and 17 receiving yards .
McCaffrey did not get much rest in garbage time Sunday. He churned out three consecutive runs midway through the fourth quarter with a 20-point lead. Coach Kyle Shanahan opted not to pull him or other mainstays earlier, because of a lesson learned from the 2021 opener at Detroit, where the 49ers nearly squandered a 24-point lead in the fourth quarter of a 41-33 win.
