Christian McCaffrey arrived in the Bay Area on Friday and played 21 snaps with his new team Sunday. That's impressive.
It also didn't help the San Francisco 49ers get a win.
McCaffrey looked fine in his 49ers debut. He had 38 rushing yards on eight carries and two catches for 24 receiving yards. Given that he had less than 72 hours from the time the Carolina Panthers traded him to learn a playbook and his teammates, it was a reasonable debut.
"This was a weird week, for me and for them," McCaffrey said after the game.
