Have 49ers rediscovered their smash-mouth identity?

Christian McCaffrey was named the NFC player of the week for his performance against Atlanta on Sunday Night Football, rushing for 129 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and adding 72 receiving yards. The output represents what might have been a breakthrough for the 49ers, who had struggled rushing until last week.

The game in Houston represents a homecoming for left tackle Trent Williams, who resides there in the offseason and appeared to be back in top form Sunday night.
