McCaffrey’s 140 rushing yards were enough to move him past three-time Super Bowl champion Steve Young for the ninth-most rushing yards in 49ers history. Young rushed for 3,581 yards in San Francisco from 1987-99 while making seven Pro Bowl selections, earning All-Pro honors six times and being a two-time NFL MVP.
McCaffrey could rise again in Week 18, as he’s just 29 yards away from passing Kevan Barlow for eighth in San Francisco’s record.
