Jerry Rice is beaten once again today! 49ers’ RB Christian McCaffrey just surpassed the legend’s franchise record. Rice made the record of having the most TDs (23) in a season with the franchise in 1987. With 24 TDs to his name this season, including the postseason, CMC is now the only 49ers player to have reached that number. This just came in after Chiefs’ TE Travis Kelce took over Rice’s record in postseason catches.

While the 49ers are having a struggling game, the running back pulled through by landing a TD for his team. Now the 27-year-old will be hoping to play his best and give himself another reason to celebrate by winning the game vs the Lions.

Can Christian McCaffrey pull his Niners through?

The RB tied with Rice’s record in the previous game against Packers, as he helped his team gain the lead. After Christian McCaffrey helped his team win, it was highly plausible that he will break Rice’s long-standing record. Despite breaking the historical franchise record, whether CMC will be able to help his team land a win is questionable.

Currently, the San Francisco 49ers are fighting for the NFC title vs Lions. This is the first time after 1991 that the Detroit team is fighting for the title. Per predictions, the Lions must be having a tough game. But it seems the team came prepared to dominate and reach the Super Bowl for the first time.

Even though it’s too early to say anything, Christian McCaffrey will have to postpone his celebration for now and give it his all to the game. As of right now, the 49ers are lagging behind the Lions with 24-7 and it’s just the halftime.

Do you think the running back can help his team win by landing a couple TDs somehow? The way things are going, we are looking forward to a Chiefs vs Lions Super Bowl 2024.
