Don’t expect the San Francisco 49ers to take their foot off the gas in their usage of running back Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey returned in Week 10 after missing the first nine weeks to work through Achilles tendinitis. It stood to reason that his usage might start slow and then ramp up.

There's a clear path to the postseason for the San Francisco 49ers that started in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and continues in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. The game at Tampa Bay was a virtual must-win for the previously 4-4 49ers.
