The San Francisco 49ers have received some kind of scare in the second quarter against the Buffalo Bills. Running back Christian McCaffrey took a pitch and quickly slid down to the field for a five yard loss. He quickly hobbled off the field after the play. On the replay, he was quickly gimpy as he caught the pitch and started running.
