Patrick Star Gave 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey Simple Advice After Costly Fumble

Whether scoring touchdowns or jellyfishing, the advice is the same.

Super Bowl LVIII between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs got off to a fast start.

After receiving the opening kickoff, the 49ers offense marched down the field into Chiefs’ territory. But their promising drive was cut short by a rare and costly fumble from running back Christian McCaffrey.
