49ers Notes
- After each week of the 2023 season, 49ers running back CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY has led the NFL in rushing yards. He enters this week with 1,177, 253 more than the next-closest player, Miami's RAHEEM MOSTERT (924).
- McCaffrey has an opportunity to become the first player in 28 years and only the fourth since the 1970 merger to lead the NFL in rushing yards after every week of a full season. In three of those instances, the player either won a Super Bowl or garnered Associated Press Most Valuable Player honors. Pro Football Hall of Famer EMMITT SMITH in 1995 led the Cowboys to a Super Bowl XXX victory, Pro Football Hall of Famer WALTER PAYTON in 1977 earned MVP, and Pro Football Hall of Famer O.J. SIMPSON in 1973 earned MVP. Simpson also led wire-to-wire in 1975.
- SAN FRANCISCO (10-3), the first team to clinch a playoff berth, continues its bid for the NFC's lone first-round bye with a division game at ARIZONA (3-10) on Sunday (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS). It won't be easy. Arizona quarterback KYLER MURRAY has won two of his last three starts against the 49ers. Murray and the Cardinals are 2-2 since the quarterback returned to Arizona's lineup in Week 10.
- Over the last five weeks, San Francisco has vaulted to the NFC's pole position in dominant fashion. In that span, the 49ers are 5-0 and have outscored opponents by 18.2 points per game.
- Quarterback BROCK PURDY, who leads the NFL with a 116.9 passer rating, graduated from Perry High School, 46 miles from State Farm Stadium. In 2017, Purdy led Perry to the state championship game and set Class 6A state records with 4,405 passing yards and 57 touchdown passes.
- In last week's win, Purdy recorded a career-high 368 passing yards, connecting with wide receiver DEEBO SAMUEL for 149 yards and a touchdown. Samuel, who also ran for a touchdown, became the second player in NFL history with 100 receiving yards, one touchdown reception and one rushing touchdown in consecutive games, joining Philadelphia's TIMMY BROWN (Dec. 11-18, 1960).
- Cornerback CHARVARIUS WARD leads the NFL with 20 passes defensed.
