00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:02 16 straight games finding the end zone for Christian McCaffrey
00:06 nearing an NFL record, set an NFL record
00:10 for the most consecutive game, scoring from the line
00:13 of scrimmage last night.
00:15 So that was the positive, having Christian McCaffrey there,
00:17 even without Trent Williams or Devo Samuel.
00:20 But when you look at what the crux was for San Francisco,
00:24 Brock Purdy again, DRS.
00:25 You can start to paint things for San Francisco.
00:28 First five games of the year, all five victories
00:31 for the 49ers.
00:32 They score 30 or more points the last two weeks, only scoring
00:36 17.
00:37 They dropped both of those games.
00:39 Brock Purdy, zero interceptions in the first five
00:42 for Sam Fran, three interceptions
00:44 in the last two games.
00:46 Two last night, Donnie, and in very crucial spots.
00:49 You mentioned the one late.
00:50 The one under five minutes remaining,
00:52 where Jawan Jennings was his intended target.
00:56 I say intended with some sarcasm,
00:58 because it was a timing route where the ball just
01:00 got away from Brock Purdy.
01:02 San Francisco had some momentum.
01:04 They just picked up a fourth down conversion.
01:06 They were driving into Minnesota territory.
01:08 The ball got away from Purdy.
01:10 It seemed as though he threw it to the Vikings secondary
01:14 in that spot.
01:14 Again, if there are questions about Purdy
01:17 needing to lead this team, not just being
01:19 one single component of this team,
01:21 but needing to lead this team over the past two weeks
01:24 without a fully healthy Christian McCaffrey or Deebo
01:27 Samuel, those questions, Donnie, I still
01:29 think are there for the 49ers moving forward.
01:32 And also even bigger questions.
01:34 Like, maybe there's a reason why Kyle Shannon keeps on running
01:36 Christian McCaffrey out there.
01:37 Now you go to do that, he gets paid a lot of money
01:39 to play running back, and he was banged up,
01:41 apparently said before the game.
01:42 Look, I feel really good, so let me go out there and spin it.
01:44 And he did 15 carries for 45 yards,
01:47 and then chipped in three catches for 51 yards.
01:49 And again, two touchdowns in that game.
01:50 But we were entering in this game going, OK,
01:52 well, maybe Christian McCaffrey is
01:53 going to be that red zone back.
01:54 We knew he was going to get a touchdown.
01:56 That's what he does.
01:57 He's going to get first crack at those.
01:58 Look at Elijah Mitchell.
01:59 One carry, minus one yards.
02:01 And I take a look here at the receiving charts here.
02:03 He didn't even get a target.
02:05 So let me rely on this.
02:07 I know we can't expect injuries, and you can't expect health
02:09 in the NFL.
02:10 But it seems like you're running a real tight rope here right
02:13 now with the 49ers back.
02:14 McCaffrey is so dominant.
02:16 But what happens behind him?
02:17 What happens if he does miss his standard two to three games
02:20 a season, which he's done so many times in his career?
02:22 That's what I'm worried about here.
02:23 That should have been a winnable football game yesterday.
02:25 They ended up losing here.
02:26 So a lot of question marks, as I said,
02:28 now piling up on the 49ers here.
02:30 But the fans of the sportsbook, it
02:31 doesn't look like they have too many worries here, Ben,
02:33 on that.
