All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey missed most of the first half with a hamstring strain that was initially termed a thigh injury, later saying his leg "just died" on him. Still, McCaffrey, one of the most indispensable players on a then-unbeaten team, returned when he was clearly compromised: McCaffrey had to pull up when chasing Falcons linebacker Kendal Daniels on a fourth-quarter interception.

All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey missed most of the first half of the Week 8 game against Atlanta with a hamstring strain initially termed a thigh injury; McCaffrey described his leg as having "just died" on him. Despite being clearly compromised, he returned to play and had to pull up when chasing Falcons linebacker Kendal Daniels on a fourth-quarter interception, indicating lingering mobility concerns. GM John Lynch suggested the hamstring discomfort may have been exacerbated by aggressive in-game usage to keep McCaffrey going.
