The 49ers leaned on the ground game after Kyle Shanahan challenged them to reach 40 rushes, pounding out 39 for 174 yards in a 20-10 win over the Falcons. Christian McCaffrey carried 24 times for a season-high 129 yards and two touchdowns, added seven catches for 72 yards, and produced 62 percent of the team's offense. He has topped 100 scrimmage yards in all seven games, matching Roger Craig's mark. Shanahan called him "the most consistent player I've been around" as the 5-2 49ers hope to get healthier with McCaffrey still at the center.
