The San Francisco 49ers put four touchdowns on the board during Sunday's 34-3 blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Somehow, Christian McCaffrey didn't score any of them.

That ended his touchdown streak at 17 games, preventing him from setting a new NFL record. He'll remain tied with Lenny Moore in the record books.

And NFL fans and pundits alike were stunned—and saddened—that he didn't find the end zone:

I don't want to say the my whole day relies on McCaffrey breaking the record, but Imma Riot if McCaffrey don't take the ball to the end zone.

Christian McCaffrey simply has to start a new TD streak. <a href="">#49ers</a> <a href="">#FTTB</a>

Christian McCaffrey isn't going to break the consecutive games with a touchdown record. Nobody talk to me.

It wasn't for a lack of trying.

The Niners gave McCaffrey 22 touches on the day (16 carries for 95 yards; six receptions for 47 yards) and rather shamelessly tried to get him the record late in the game. With a 34-3 lead late in the fourth quarter, the team went for a 4th-and-5 instead of kicking the field goal, gaining a first down on a McCaffrey end-around.

They also called a timeout two plays in a row to avoid a delay-of-game penalty. Not exactly the usual energy from a team up by that large of a margin.

And the Niners got the ball to McCaffrey on four straight plays after getting the ball to the 10-yard line. They pulled basically all of their other starters but kept the superstar running back in the game.

He still wasn't able to score.

FOX Sports: NFL @NFLonFOX

So close 😫<br><br>CMC had a TD in 17-straight games entering today, and the 49ers tried to get him the ball late in the game in the red zone to extend the streak... but couldn't make it happen. <br><br>📺: FOX <a href="">

Whether or not that approach to the end of the game was a smart decision—or a sportsmanlike one, for that matter—was up for debate:

Jordan Cicchelli 🤍 @jordancicchelli

Shanahan trying to get McCaffrey that TD <a href="">

Jimmy Spencer @JimmySpencer

Even just trying to do everything he could to get Christian McCaffrey a touchdown there, Kyle Shanahan just sent an amazing message to all of his players. And hey, that's fun for the fans obviously too.

Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN

Surely the Jaguars are thrilled with the 49ers passing at the goal line up 34-3 in the final minutes to extend Christian McCaffrey's touchdown streak.

Danny Heifetz @Danny_Heifetz

Ok it's not the starting offense but CMC, going for it on 4th-and-goal, idk that is weird to me.

Jake Ciely @allinkid

I appreciate the CMC touchdown streak as much as anyone but this is reckless

Kazeem Famuyide 🇳🇬 🍎 @Kazeem

Elite shameless stat padding from the Niners trying to keep the McCaffrey streak alive. I love it.

Jeff Mans @Jeff_Mans

If McCaffrey would have torn an ACL there, the <a href="">#49ers</a> would have been criminally negligent.

Jake Hutchinson @hutchdiesel

this is not smart to put McCaffrey in but I kind of love it

Regardless, no record was set on Sunday. McCaffrey will have to settle for the 6-3 Niners ending a three-game losing streak by absolutely dominating a good Jacksonville Jaguars team, reestablishing themselves as a top contender.

He'll probably be just fine with that outcome.
