In addition to the last seven games, McCaffrey achieved 100 or more scrimmage yards in the season's first four games. This brings his season total to an impressive 11 games, matching another record set by Roger Craig in both 1985 and 1988 for the most such games in a single season.

Heading into the game against the Cardinals, McCaffrey already led the league with 1,177 rushing yards and boasted a league-leading 1,614 all-purpose yards, solidifying his status as one of the most dynamic weapons in the game. Undoubtedly, he will continue to make his mark on the 49ers' record books in the years to come.
