Davis Mills Jersey but mostly thanks to their three-headed beast at running back. What Raheem Mostert did against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Conference Championship was otherworldly though, racking up 220 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns en route to a 37-20 victory that wasn't nearly as close as the final score would have you believe.With those numbers, Mostert not only registered a career-best night of production, but he also set a franchise record for most rushing yards in a single game -- falling only 29 yards shy of besting Erick Dickerson's single-game playoff rushing record.But how'd the Packers let this happen? The Niners ran for more yards this season than every team
Jalen Camp Jersey in the NFL except for the , who set the NFL record for rushing yards in a season. San Francisco also ranked eighth in yards per carry, seventh in rushing first downs, and first in rushing touchdowns during the regular season. For most of the year, the Niners used a committee approach. When they were all healthy, you really never knew whether or or would lead the team in carries. By the end of the year, all three players had at least 123 carries and at least 544 rushing yards.Mostert, though, led the group in carries (147), rushing yards (772), and rushing scores (eight). He also finished the regular season on a roll, so it was surprising when last week Coleman led the backfield with 22 carries for 105 yards and two scores. Coleman
Jimmy Moreland Jersey mixed in with Mostert early in the NFC title game against the before leaving with an injury, but even at that point, Mostert was already going bonkers.

San Francisco 49ers (@49ers) And later, he found the end zone for a time in the first half. That's a HAT TRICK for 27-0 with 0:45 left in the first half. San Francisco 49ers (@49ers) That's right, folks: 160 yards and three scores, in just one half. As mentioned above, Mostert wasn't done there, adding a fourth touchdown to his tally, and that makes him the only player in the history of the league to rush for more than 200 yards to go along with four rushing touchdowns in a playoff game. He was so dominant that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo only needed to deliver six completions for 77 total yards with no touchdowns, and no one batted an eye as the 49ers get ready to catch a flight to Super Bowl LIV in Miami.You
