After running for two touchdowns and helping San Francisco beat the rival Seahawks for a fourth straight time, Christian McCaffrey was going to enjoy his celebratory meal. The fact it was a Thanksgiving feast on Seattle’s home field made it even more delicious. “That was a satisfying turkey,” McCaffrey said.
He had a perfect passer rating this past game, joining Joe Montana as the only Niners QBs to do that in a game with at least 15 pass attempts. SEAHAWKS PLAYER TO WATCH: Rookie RB Zach Charbonnet could be asked to carry a big load with Kenneth Walker III expected to miss the game with an oblique injury. Charbonnet had a season-high 15 carries last week against the Rams and will likely get even more turns facing the 49ers.
The San Francisco 49ers got back to their early-season form just in time for their most crucial stretch of the regular season. Thanks to a flawless performance from Brock Purdy, big plays from Brandon Aiyuk and a strong defensive performance, the 49ers beat Tampa Bay 27-14 on Sunday for their second straight convincing win following a three-game losing streak. “We’re taking steps in the right direction,” tight end George Kittle said.
