For those who doubt the physical nature of the NFL, take a look at the evident bruises on Christian McCaffrey.
Throughout the season, the 49ers’ running back, Christian McCaffrey, has been performing like a finely tuned machine. In the recent 31-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, McCaffrey scored two rushing touchdowns, but it was far from a painless endeavor.
Olivia Culpo, engaged to 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, shared glimpses of his return home on Thanksgiving Day. Among the footage was McCaffrey walking shirtless, with Culpo pointing out visible bruises on his arms and ribs, along with a cut on his arm that he mentioned having for approximately “six months.” She also displayed blood stains on their white bed sheets from the enduring cut.
Powered by Christian McCaffrey’s impressive performance of 114 rushing yards and two scores, the 49ers accumulated 169 yards on the ground. McCaffrey has now secured 11 rushing touchdowns this season, marking a franchise record.
Since his trade from the Carolina Panthers to the 49ers, McCaffrey has proven to be nearly unstoppable. In a game anticipated as a clash for NFC West supremacy, the Seahawks found themselves once again outmatched as the 49ers asserted dominance on Seattle’s home turf.
On a contrasting trajectory, the Seahawks, with two consecutive losses and three in their last four games, now stand at a 6-5 record for the year. Meanwhile, the 49ers appear to be a seamlessly operating machine and, if they can maintain their health, are poised to be strong contenders for a Super Bowl.
