McCaffrey: Family fuels 49ers' success

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey shared insights into how his family, particularly his wife Olivia Culpo, provides essential support. McCaffrey, who recently became a new father, noted their shared appreciation for hard work and teamwork, which helps them navigate their demanding careers and personal lives. He described his wife as incredible for making his demanding in-season routine easier, especially during hectic holiday periods.

McCaffrey also discussed the resilience of the 49ers this season, noting how the team has maintained high standards despite injuries to key players. He attributed this success to a strong team culture, where diligent players and coaches foster an environment that encourages backups and younger athletes to perform exceptionally. This collective effort has been vital for the team's performance.

Looking ahead, McCaffrey emphasized the 49ers' consistent focus on the present, adopting a 'one game at a time' mentality. He credits veteran leadership for understanding the league's narrow margin for error. This approach ensures the team prioritizes each week and each play, aiming for success against opponents like the Indianapolis Colts.
