After the game, Christian McCaffrey said he was confident his thigh injury was not a long-term issue. “It sucks because it feels like I was going on a run there and then my leg just died on me. Tried to get it going for the whole rest of the game. I know I’ll be alright."

Looked like Dre Greenlaw tried to call timeout before that third-down pass to Robinson. Sleepy performance by the 49ers defense today.

Rookie play by veteran Osa Odighizuwa. Of course the Faklcons were going to try to induce an encroachment penalty on fourth down.

McCaffrey, of course, is/was slated to be a big part of the passing attack today. He played 16 wide receiver snaps last week against Washington.

Christian McCaffrey (thigh) is questionable to return. He's been in the medical tent for several minutes.
