The San Francisco 49ers improved to 4-0 on the season with a 35-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, scoring touchdowns on six of their seven offensive drives to remain undefeated.
Per usual, star running back Christian McCaffrey was the highlight of the day, scoring a career-high four touchdowns while accounting for 177 yards from scrimmage in a monster game that has begun to firmly place him in the Most Valuable Player conversation.
Currently, McCaffrey is listed with the seventh-best odds of any player to win the MVP award, ranking slightly ahead of signal-caller Brock Purdy, and being the lone non-quarterback in the Top 12 to earn consideration for the most heralded award in football.
