This week was 49ers running back Christian McCaffery’s week. He had a crazy game, putting up 177 total yards and four touchdowns. His teammate, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, had six receptions for 148 yards.
The Broncos also had a wild game where they came back from a score of 28-7 and put up three scores in the fourth quarter to win the game. Despite the loss, Bear’s quarterback, Justin Fields, had four touchdowns and 335 yards.
In big injury news, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was activated off the PUP list and has since returned to practice. Now that he’s healthy, the question arises over whether he’ll hold out to be traded.
