Christian McCaffrey’s Big Run Sets Up Brock Purdy’s First Playoff Touchdown Pass

Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel have combined for 97 rushing yards for three carries (which is 33.2 yards per carry!) and the 49ers are rolling!

McCaffrey’s first carry of the game was a 66-yard scamper — the second-longest run of his career — that set the 49ers up at the Seattle 17.

A few plays later, rookie Brock Purdy evaded a sack and found Christian McCaffrey for a touchdown pass, the first playoff touchdown pass of his career.

Purdy’s touchdown toss to CMC made it 10-0 49ers. If San Francisco continues to run the ball like they have, it’s going to be a long afternoon for Seattle.
