Christian McCaffrey hit a major career marker on Sunday, but the biggest reaction at home came from someone who wasn’t impressed at all.
The San Francisco 49ers running back scored twice in a 35-13 win over the Miami Dolphins, bringing his career touchdown total to 100. It was a huge day for McCaffrey, who finished with 10 carries for 23 yards and two rushing scores, plus four catches for 43 yards.
Olivia Culpo tried to share the moment with their daughter, Colette, at home. In a video posted to her Instagram Stories, Culpo showed the TV replay of McCaffrey’s second touchdown, then turned the camera toward Colette, apparently hoping for a little celebration.
Instead, the toddler headed the other way.
“Well one of us cares about a touchdown @christianmccaffrey 😜,” Culpo joked.
The first touchdown gave McCaffrey 99 for his career. The second put him at 100, a milestone that only added to an already big afternoon in San Francisco’s win over Miami.
Culpo’s video captured the moment from home, first with McCaffrey on the TV and then with Colette’s rapid exit. For now, the family’s youngest member seems far more interested in moving away from the action than watching it unfold.
McCaffrey and Culpo welcomed Colette in July 2025, more than a year after the couple married in Rhode Island. Their family is set to expand again, with Culpo currently pregnant with the couple’s second child, due this fall.
So McCaffrey may have two little viewers soon enough. For the moment, though, Colette is still just over a year old and not especially concerned with the significance of Dad’s end-zone work.
Given McCaffrey’s age - 30 - and the pace at which he keeps stacking milestones, she’ll likely have more chances to catch a touchdown celebration. Maybe next time she’ll stay for the replay.

49ers WR Injuries Could Force A Trade For Former First Rounder
Early-season injuries have already thinned out the 49ers receiver room, and that kind of problem tends to get attention fast in Santa Clara. When the depth chart starts wobbling at wideout, the conversation usually turns from short-term patch jobs to bigger swings, especially for a team that expects to stay in the playoff hunt and cant afford to let a promising start get bogged down by attrition.
One name now floating into that discussion is Jerry Jeudy, with Bleacher Reports Moe Moton pointing to the Browns as a possible trade partner. Clevelands new coaching staff is leaning into younger players, and Jeudys role and production have both faded enough to make a deal conceivable if the price is right. For San Francisco, it is the sort of move that makes sense on paper, even if the real question is whether the 49ers feel pressure to act before the market gets thinner. [Read more 🡒]
Brock Purdy Led A 49ers Rout But The Grades Get More Interesting
Brock Purdys sharp afternoon in the 49ers 35-13 win over the Dolphins carried over into the numbers game, too. Pro Football Focus handed him the highest overall offensive grade in the NFL for Week 2 after he completed 20 of 22 passes for 287 yards, threw two touchdowns and added a rushing score, all while San Franciscos line kept him clean and did not allow a sack.
The grading also painted a fuller picture of how the offense functioned around him, with George Kittle standing out in the receiving evaluation and Kyle Juszczyk earning his usual value in the mix. Not every name landed as high, though, and the split in the grades makes the review of this rout a little more interesting for a 49ers team that looked dominant on the scoreboard but still gave PFF plenty to sort through.

49ers Fan Captured The NFL Streaming Frustration Everyone Feels
At Levis Stadium during the 49ers home opener, one fan managed to turn a handmade sign into a small but sharp snapshot of a bigger problem around the NFLs modern viewing experience. The message spoke to what has become an increasingly familiar annoyance for fans trying to follow games online, where access is split across multiple platforms instead of sitting in one place.
Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+ and Netflix have all become part of the leagues fragmented streaming landscape, and each one comes with its own subscription hurdle. The sign struck a chord because it reflected a frustration many viewers know well, the sense that watching football digitally now requires more juggling, more spending and a lot more patience than it used to.
