Christian McCaffrey has been in the spotlight before, but this matchup carried a little extra attention. The 49ers’ star running back, who joined San Francisco in 2022 after spending the early years of his career in Carolina, went up against his former team on Monday night.
The game was important for the 49ers, but it was Olivia Culpo who hijacked the spotlight with a viral TikTok that spread across social media within hours.
Culpo posted a playful video using the popular trend built around Raye’s track WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! The theme fit perfectly with her game-day routine. She filmed herself walking through the stadium concourse, strolling along the sidelines, and sitting in her seat while pretending to search for McCaffrey
The punchline came at the end of the clip when she found him after the win and wrapped him in a warm hug. Her caption tied everything together and aligned smoothly with the song choice and trend.
“Turns out he was just dominating Monday night football with his friends!” she captioned the post.

While Culpo generated the viral moment, McCaffrey delivered the football highlight. The 49ers beat the Panthers 20–9 in a physical, defense-heavy matchup that leaned heavily on their star running back.

San Francisco’s defense dominated the game and put the Panthers in difficult spots, but it was McCaffrey who kept the 49ers’ offense steady. His dual-threat production created openings down the stretch, and the 49ers closed the night with control.
