The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with the number one rushing defense in the NFL through Seven weeks, has been the only team to successfully defend Christian McCaffrey this season. What’s more is they have done it twice. They held him to a total of 67 yards rushing and 42 yards receiving. Those are stunningly low totals for a running back who is garnering legitimate MVP buzz this early in the year.
The San Francisco 49ers currently boast the number two total defense and the number one passing defense in the league. McCaffrey is a threat unlike any they have faced this year.
