As if that wasn't enough, that touchdown by McCaffrey matched a franchise record. The running back has scored a touchdown in 12 consecutive games, including the playoffs. That ties Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, who in 1987 had 12 straight games with a touchdown.
McCaffrey finished the first half with 61 rushing yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. The 49ers lead the Giants 17-6 at halftime.
