49ers' Christian McCaffrey makes NFL history with rare all-purpose feat – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

Another week, another Christian McCaffrey record in the books. 
McCaffrey, 29, logged two rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown in the 49ers’ 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals, pushing his season total to six rushing and five receiving touchdowns. McCaffrey now is the first player in NFL history with at least five rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns in four different seasons. 
“I love the game so much, I try to be a complete back,” McCaffrey told reporters Sunday at State Farm Stadium after the 49ers’ win. “It’s something that, my whole life I’ve tried to focus on: being able to do everything. I just love playing with my buddies and going out there and competing and trying to do whatever it takes to win.”

Sunday’s win also was the star running back’s 17th career game with one-or-more rushing and one-or-more receiving touchdowns, extending the record he set in San Francisco’s Week 9 win over the New York Giants. It was his eighth such game as a 49er, the most in franchise history. 
McCaffrey’s usage in the passing game has seen a huge uptick this season. Through 11 games, he has logged 732 receiving yards, the most in his career to start a season. 
“It was always something I worked on my whole life,” McCaffrey said. “I always played running back, never played receiver. But I was fortunate enough to be on teams, even in little league, where they would throw the ball to me, so it was always kind of a natural thing. I enjoy doing it, it’s another way to get the ball into the hands.” 
On Sunday, McCaffrey tallied 81 rushing and 40 receiving yards on 18 touches. His 121 scrimmage yards against the Cardinals extended his season total to 1,439 yards, which leads the NFL.

In addition to his receiving, McCaffrey was more effective on the ground Sunday against Arizona, averaging a season-high 6.2 rushing-yards-per-carry. His longest rush went for 20 yards, the longest by a 49er this season and their first rush of 20-or-more yards in the 2025 NFL season. 
McCaffrey looks to keep it rolling in Week 12 against his old team, the Carolina Panthers, when the two face off at Levi’s Stadium on “Monday Night Football.”
