In his second week in red and gold, Christian McCaffrey already made history with the 49ers in their 31-14 win over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday.
But the record-breaking continues.
McCaffrey’s trick play, a 34-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Aiyuk, was the longest pass completed through the air for a touchdown by a 49er this season. It traveled 37.2 yards in the air -- the first touchdown pass that traveled 20 or more yards in the air for San Francisco this season.

It was also the longest completion by air distance by a running back in the NFL's Next Gen Stats era (since 2016).
Jimmy Garoppolo's longest touchdown pass this season was a 38-yard strike to tight end Ross Dwelley in the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Seattle Seahawks, which only traveled 16 yards through the air.
McCaffrey's touchdown pass raised another alarming stat about Garoppolo.
McCaffrey credited his younger brothers, who are both college quarterbacks, for their throwing tips and for helping him be able to pull off the neat play.
“Both my little brothers are quarterbacks so I learned a lot from them,” McCaffrey told reporters after Sunday's win. “I used to always want to play quarterback just because it was the best position, but I’ve been a running back since I was seven.”

In the division rivalry showdown vs. Los Angeles, McCaffrey became the first player since 2005 to throw a touchdown pass, rush for a touchdown and catch a touchdown in the same game. He also became the first player in 49ers history to record the touchdown triple crown.
All in a matter of 10 days.
It’s safe to say the star running back/wide receiver/QB is finding his way with the 49ers, and it’ll only get scarier for opposing teams as he better familiarizes himself with Kyle Shanahan’s playbook.
