Christian McCaffrey ties NFL record with TD scored in 17th straight game

Christian McCaffrey got the San Francisco 49ers on the board Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals with a two-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

He made history in the process. The touchdown marked his 17th straight game (playoffs included) with a touchdown, tying an NFL record held by Hall of Fame Baltimore Colts running back Lenny Moore. The record stood as Moore's alone for nearly 60 years. He completed his 17-game scoring streak over a span from 1963-64.

McCaffrey's teammates congratulated him Sunday after he broke the record with a score to tie the game at 7-7:

Tying the record!
