Christian McCaffrey, running back for the San Francisco 49ers, was all smiles over the weekend when his team destroyed the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5 NFL. With quarterback Brock Purdy injured and out for some time, the 49ers depended on Mac Jones to take charge and he did so beautifully.
McCaffrey found plenty of love for his performance in the game from thousands of fans, and also his wife, Olivia Culpo, who commemorated the win with a special Instagram post. Culpo also shared a sweet picture of baby Colette in the carousel she posted on her Instagram.
“Family, football, and fiances. Add in a win and all my favorite people in one place.. this one felt special (tearing up emoji x 2)”Olivia Culpo wrote in her Instagram post.
“My people (red heart emoji). I love you”San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, commented on his wife’s thoughtful post.

Christian McCaffrey is definitely enjoying a much better season compared to the previous NFL campaign when he was benched for several months after a nasty shoulder injury. In this ongoing season, McCaffrey has already managed a total of 91 receptions for the team and in the Rams matchup contributed 22.
The San Francisco 49ers are clearly showing an improvement when compared to their previous NFL season. Despite the team going through various challenges in terms of injuries, the unit has managed to pull through, unlike many others in the NFL right now. The 49ers are reigning in the NFC West right and will be stubborn to remain in this position.

Christian McCaffrey’s Team is ‘Mexico’s Team’ As Per Kyle Shanahan
Christian McCaffrey’s San Francisco 49ers might not be considered ‘America’s Team’ like the Dallas Cowboys, but are definitely ‘Mexico’s Team’ according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. According to a recent NFL Films video, Shanahan revealed that he was genuinely surprised that the 49ers enjoyed so much welcome in Mexico, when they played a road game a couple of seasons ago.
“We always feel it in California, we feel when we travel, but we never felt it more than when we went to Mexico City. It was supposed to be a road game, but Niner fans took that place over.”Kyle Shanahan revealed.
Christian McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers will be soon meeting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Week 6. It is still not known if quarterback Brock Purdy will return in time for that game.
