Getting into the red zone hasn't been a problem early this season for the San Francisco 49ers, who have gotten past the opponent's 20-yard line more than all but one team in the NFL .Finishing those drives with touchdowns has been a major issue in a stark turnaround from last season when the Niners were the most efficient team in the NFL when it came to scoring touchdowns in the red zone.
The game against the Seahawks Thursday night marked the first time McCaffrey would be eligible to return, but the team has not given any indication he is close to being able to play. Coach Kyle Shanahan said it's hard to put a finger on a theme for the issues.'I think we need to be much more effective running it,' he said.
