00:02
16 straight games finding the end zone for Christian McCaffrey
00:06
nearing an NFL record, set an NFL record
00:10
for the most consecutive game, scoring from the line
00:13
of scrimmage last night.
00:15
So that was the positive, having Christian McCaffrey there,
00:17
even without Trent Williams or Devo Samuel.
00:20
But when you look at what the crux was for San Francisco,
00:24
Brock Purdy again, DRS.
00:25
You can start to paint things for San Francisco.
00:28
First five games of the year, all five victories
00:31
for the 49ers.
00:32
They score 30 or more points the last two weeks, only scoring
00:36
17.
00:37
They dropped both of those games.
00:39
Brock Purdy, zero interceptions in the first five
00:42
for Sam Fran, three interceptions
00:44
in the last two games.
00:46
Two last night, Donnie, and in very crucial spots.
00:49
You mentioned the one late.
00:50
The one under five minutes remaining,
00:52
where Jawan Jennings was his intended target.
00:56
I say intended with some sarcasm,
00:58
because it was a timing route where the ball just
01:00
got away from Brock Purdy.
01:02
San Francisco had some momentum.
01:04
They just picked up a fourth down conversion.
01:06
They were driving into Minnesota territory.
01:08
The ball got away from Purdy.
01:10
It seemed as though he threw it to the Vikings secondary
01:14
in that spot.
01:14
Again, if there are questions about Purdy
01:17
needing to lead this team, not just being
01:19
one single component of this team,
01:21
but needing to lead this team over the past two weeks
01:24
without a fully healthy Christian McCaffrey or Deebo
01:27
Samuel, those questions, Donnie, I still
01:29
think are there for the 49ers moving forward.
01:32
And also even bigger questions.
01:34
Like, maybe there's a reason why Kyle Shannon keeps on running
01:36
Christian McCaffrey out there.
01:37
Now you go to do that, he gets paid a lot of money
01:39
to play running back, and he was banged up,
01:41
apparently said before the game.
01:42
Look, I feel really good, so let me go out there and spin it.
01:44
And he did 15 carries for 45 yards,
01:47
and then chipped in three catches for 51 yards.
01:49
And again, two touchdowns in that game.
01:50
But we were entering in this game going, OK,
01:52
well, maybe Christian McCaffrey is
01:53
going to be that red zone back.
01:54
We knew he was going to get a touchdown.
01:56
That's what he does.
01:57
He's going to get first crack at those.
01:58
Look at Elijah Mitchell.
01:59
One carry, minus one yards.
02:01
And I take a look here at the receiving charts here.
02:03
He didn't even get a target.
02:05
So let me rely on this.
02:07
I know we can't expect injuries, and you can't expect health
02:09
in the NFL.
02:10
But it seems like you're running a real tight rope here right
02:13
now with the 49ers back.
02:14
McCaffrey is so dominant.
02:16
But what happens behind him?
02:17
What happens if he does miss his standard two to three games
02:20
a season, which he's done so many times in his career?
02:22
That's what I'm worried about here.
02:23
That should have been a winnable football game yesterday.
02:25
They ended up losing here.
02:26
So a lot of question marks, as I said,
02:28
now piling up on the 49ers here.
02:30
But the fans of the sportsbook, it
02:31
doesn't look like they have too many worries here, Ben,
02:33
on that.
