The 49ers were set to punt three plays into their opening drive on Sunday, but head coach Kyle Shanahan changed his mind after a timeout. Quarterback Mac Jones ran for two yards to convert the fourth-and-1 from the 49ers' own 41-yard line and the team leaned heavily on Christian McCaffrey for the rest of the drive. McCaffrey ran four times and caught two passes, including a five-yarder for his fourth touchdown of the season. The extra point tied the score 7-7 with 4:16 to play in the first quarter. Jones also had a 19-yard completion to rookie wideout Jordan Watkins on the drive. McCaffrey has 33 yards from scrimmage overall.
