MacCaffery was banged up late in the game, he had taken some hard, clean hits, lots of them, all afternoon, had his legs twisted under him fgom falling awkwardly, etc. If you hve other weapons like Deebo, Kittle, etc. and your QB is playing well, and you need points, zI thought Shanny's easing up on the CMC runs fit the flow oif the game. Save what's left until you need it, when it counts.
Shanny got 10 points in the first half, 10 points in the second half, nd could have got more if Spags' D hadn't adjusted. But that's not why the 9ers lost the game. It's because Old Man Reid and Mahomes beat the 9ers D and weren't to be denied.
