At long last, the San Francisco 49ers have finally scored a rushing touchdown.
Yes, you read that right: despite having one of the best records in football, and arguably the league’s best running back in Christian McCaffrey, the Niners had gone five-and-a-quarter games without running the ball into the end zone.
The inconceivable drought came to an end Sunday in Tampa Bay with 10:18 remaining in the second quarter. After the ball was moved half the distance to the goal line because of a defensive offsides penalty, the Niners were situated on the Buccaneers’ one-yard line.
