The San Francisco 49ers have to feel pretty happy about their decision to trade for Christian McCaffrey. The running back is proving he can do it all against the Los Angeles Rams.
In the second quarter, McCaffrey threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to tie the game 7-7. In the third quarter, the running back hauled in a nine-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to give the Niners a 17-14. He ran the football into the end zone in the fourth quarter for a one-yard score, giving San Francisco a 24-14 lead.
The only running backs with 1+ pass TD, rush TD, and receiving TD in a single game since the 1970 merger:

A 49ers win would be the team's eighth consecutive regular-season victory against the Rams.
Here is McCaffrey's one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
THE TOUCHDOWN TRIPLE CROWN.
