McCaffrey has rushed for at least 90 yards in seven of his last eight games. Four times during that span he’s topped 100.
Kansas City, meanwhile, is allowing an average of 113 rushing yards in these playoffs after ranking 18th during the regular season. Not bad, but not great considering Baltimore curiously abandoned the run in the AFC title game.
Expect McCaffrey to be a heavy part of the game plan as San Francisco looks to keep Patrick Mahomes at bay on the sidelines.
