Despite four different San Francisco 49ers players scoring scrimmage touchdowns in the team’s 34-3 rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Christian McCaffrey couldn’t find the end zone for the first time in 18 games.
McCaffrey scored a touchdown in 17 straight contests prior to Sunday’s game, tying him with former Baltimore Colts running back Lenny Moore, who initially set the record from 1963-64.
The 49ers attempted to get McCaffrey the football on the final five plays of their second-last drive of the game, including four plays from the red zone, for him to surpass the milestone. Despite three rushes and one target on the last four plays, McCaffrey couldn’t get the record-breaking score.
