Christian McCaffrey came tantalizingly close to setting an NFL record with at least one touchdown in 18 consecutive games.

Looking to break a tie with Hall of Fame Baltimore Colts running back Lenny Moore, the San Francisco 49ers running back re-entered a blowout game against the Jacksonville Jaguars as the Niners moved into the red zone late in the fourth quarter.

McCaffrey touched the ball on four consecutive plays, but couldn't haul in a pass from backup quarterback Sam Darnold on fourth-and-goal from the Jacksonville 5-yard line with approximately three minutes to go.

San Francisco won the game 34-3. McCaffrey had 95 rushing yards on 16 carries, adding 47 receiving yards on six catches.

The last time McCaffrey did not score a touchdown in a game was San Francisco’s 13-0 win over the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 27, 2022. He began his record-breaking streak the following Sunday in Week 13 with a 3-yard TD reception from Brock Purdy against the Miami Dolphins.
