SANTA CLARA — Christian McCaffrey has been on the 49ers 19 days shy of a calendar year and it’s hard to remember life without him.McCaffrey has done some remarkable things since he arrived from the Carolina Panthers last Oct. 20 in exchange for four draft picks, but he broke new ground in Sunday’s 35-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals at Levi’s Stadium.“It was a good day,” McCaffrey said.Good as in 106 yards on 20 carries and touchdowns runs of 1, 18 and 2 yards. Good as in seven receptions for 71 yards and a 6-yard touchdown from Brock Purdy. Good as in 11 first downs.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — If the Arizona Cardinals have proven anything four games into coach Jonathan Gannon’s tenure, it’s that they won’t be an easy out.Coming into the game as a heavy underdog for a second straight week, the Cardinals fought back from a big first-half deficit to make it a tight contest late in the third quarter before wearing down in the fourth to lose 35-16 to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.“We just didn’t make enough plays there,” Gannon said. “But we got back in the game.
