Christian McCaffrey carried San Francisco past Atlanta, piling up 201 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns in a 20-10 win that moved the 49ers to 5-2. He rushed for 129 yards on 24 carries and caught seven passes for 72, spearheading a season‑best 174 rushing yards on 39 attempts after coach Kyle Shanahan challenged the team to reach 40. George Kittle returned from a hamstring injury, boosting the ground game despite his reception streak ending. With Fred Warner sidelined, replacement Tatum Bethune logged 10 tackles as the defense limited the Falcons to 292 yards and a season‑low 62 rushing.
