It starts with [49ers RB Christian] McCaffrey in the backfield and what he is able to do not only in the run game, but in the pass game as well. He's definitely a threat coming out of the backfield.

McCaffrey's dual-threat role drives 49ers' league-leading third-down efficiency.

Pat Surtain II identifies McCaffrey as the centerpiece of San Francisco's offense, noting he is a dual-threat threat in both the run and pass game coming out of the backfield. The 49ers lead the league in third-down percentage, and McCaffrey's versatility is a key component of their offensive attack that the Broncos defense must account for this week.
