49ers Hold Halftime Lead Despite McCaffrey's Injury

The San Francisco 49ers are ahead 14-12 at halftime against the Atlanta Falcons, despite facing challenges after losing Christian McCaffrey to a thigh injury early in the game.

The 49ers initially scored with McCaffrey's one-yard touchdown during their opening drive. However, he exited the game during the second offensive possession. The team struggled offensively without him, as no wide receivers caught a pass in the first half. Backup running back Kaelon Black contributed with a 30-yard touchdown run but also lost a fumble.

For the Falcons, Bijan Robinson recorded 37 rushing yards and 21 receiving yards in the first half. McCaffrey's status remains questionable, potentially leaving Robinson as the only star running back available for the second half.
