San Francisco 49ers running back
Christian McCaffrey scored a touchdown on the offense's first drive of today's contest against the Arizona Cardinals. That trip into the end zone sets a new franchise record, surpassing a legendary player, wide receiver Jerry Rice, for the most consecutive games with one or more touchdowns, including the playoffs.
McCaffrey has scored one or more touchdowns in 13 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFL. It ties Emmitt Smith and Arian Foster for the second-most consecutive games with one or more touchdowns since 1990.
