1. In a world where the 49ers were healthy,

this should be a San Fran win. But since there are so many injuries on their roster, you just never know.

2. The rookies and reserves played well ...

and RB McCaffery had a career night behind the blocking and decoy of TE George Kittle, fresh off the injured list.

Atlanta was favored.

3. McCaffrey has been the team's MVP so far

Even though he wasn't racking up rushing yards that put him near the top RB in the league, he was, as usual, a valuable receiving option. His all-purpose yards were still impressive.

But, you're right. Kittle being back last week opened up more holes for McCaffrey. They really complement each other. Crazy to think the 49ers used to have Deebo in that mix too. Three great weapons.
