49ers lead at halftime despite offense struggling without Christian McCaffrey
NBC Sports • • general
Key Points:
- The 49ers' game plan heavily relied on Christian McCaffrey, who scored a one-yard touchdown on the opening drive but left the game early with a thigh injury.
- At halftime, the 49ers lead 14-12 despite limited offensive production and the absence of key playmakers after McCaffrey's exit.
- The 49ers' wide receiver corps struggled, with no catches in the first half, while backup running back Kaelon Black contributed a 30-yard touchdown run but also lost a fumble.
- Falcons' running back Bijan Robinson recorded 37 rushing yards and 21 receiving yards in the first half and may be the primary offensive threat if McCaffrey cannot return.
