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.
