Tevin Coleman nearly doubled the Carolina Panthers’ scoring by himself Sunday.

The 49ers running back put up 24 points, reaching the end zone for four touchdowns in San Francisco’s rout of Carolina.

First it was a 19-yard scamper up the middle on a misdirection fake screen handoff. Coleman extended the Niners’ lead from four points to 10 (the extra point made it 11) and he led Carolina 6-3 by himself.

Less than five minutes later, the Niners went ahead and ran a screen, this time to Coleman in the left flat for a 10-yard touchdown.

Coleman 12, Panthers 3.

Coleman capped off the first half with his longest run of the day. He went 48 yards untouched into the Carolina end zone just after the two-minute warning.

And finally, the Niners got Coleman a nice traditional score for good measure. Late in the third quarter, he plowed into the end zone from one yard out with defensive tackle Sheldon Day leading the way from the offset I-formation (OK, maybe it wasn’t that traditional).

That last score gave Coleman a lead of 24-13 over all the Carolina Panthers, and it was the last snap Coleman played Sunday as Jeff Wilson Jr. and Raheem Mostert took over rushing duties.

With four scores on the day, Coleman tripled his season touchdowns total, giving him six for the year now.
