00:00Sunday Night Football, if you watched it all the way through last night, congratulations.

00:04Wasn't that entertaining after somewhat, I mean, I should have said a 4 o'clock schedule yesterday

00:08that had some crazy football games and some crazy finishes here.

00:12It's not a right side of it, it's Joe Renier, but yesterday we saw the San Francisco 49ers improve to 5-2.

00:17Injured, starting quarterbacks down, middle linebackers down, a bunch of rookies on defense, it doesn't matter.

00:22As Joe pointed out to start the show, coaching does matter.

00:25For the San Francisco 49ers to have Kyle Shanahan controlling the offense and Robert Salah controlling the defense,

00:31those are some of the type of performances that you get.

00:33The Atlanta Falcons are a pretty good football team.

00:35The Atlanta Falcons have one of the best rushing teams in the NFL.

00:39How about 20 carries for 62 yards, 3.1 yards per carry, and no touchdowns on the ground.

00:44Congratulations, San Francisco.

00:46If you ever got healthy, you got the coaches to make a deep run here, and it just goes to show you,

00:51sometimes it's not the Jimmys and the Joes, it actually is the X's and the O's, Joe.

00:57It really is.

00:58Well, and it also helps to have Christian McCaffrey in the backfield there for you,

01:03because that was the Christian McCaffrey we've been waiting for when it comes to running the ball.

01:09I mean, the interesting part about the 49ers at this point, Don, is they have not been able to run the ball.

01:14They have used him more as a receiver than they have used him anywhere else.

01:19Now, a lot of that had to do, they did have some offensive line issues here, but not last night,

01:25because he dominated, and that offensive line dominated the front of Atlanta,

01:31and they just, you didn't ask Mac Jones, I have to throw for 400 yards.

01:34Why?

01:35129 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.

01:38Oh, yeah.

01:39He still had seven catches for 72 yards.

01:42This was all about the Christian McCaffrey show last night.

01:45He literally took that game over and single-handedly beat the Atlanta Falcons defense.
