McCaffrey's Grueling Comeback Season Ends With Shoulder Stinger in 49ers' 41-6 Divisional Loss

Kyle Shanahan called the running back's 2025 campaign one of the most impressive he has ever seen.

Overview

  • The 41-6 defeat at Lumen Field ended San Francisco's season in the NFC Divisional Round.
  • Christian McCaffrey sustained a left shoulder stinger late in the first half, returned briefly in the third quarter, then was shut down for the night.
  • He finished with 11 carries for 35 yards and five receptions for 39 yards as Seattle controlled the game.
  • After missing 13 games in 2024, he logged a career-high 413 touches for 2,126 scrimmage yards and 17 regular-season touchdowns, adding 188 postseason yards and two more scores.
  • McCaffrey called the year one of the hardest of his life, with injuries elsewhere — including George Kittle's torn Achilles — intensifying the load following his earlier standout performance against Philadelphia.
