TOUCHING MOMENT!! Christian McCaffrey’s gift to a 49ers fan holding a sign saying he beat cancer – VC

It’s been a tough season all around for the 49ers, but one of their biggest stars did something special for a fan dealing with something even more trying.

Before this week’s edition of Sunday Night Football, featuring the Buffalo Bills and the visiting San Francisco 49ers, one road fan got a souvenir he won’t soon forget. This 49ers fan was holding up a sign stating that he had beaten cancer, and implored his team to similarly beat the Bills, catching the eye of one of his team’s biggest stars. 

Versatile running back Christian McCaffrey strode over to the end zone in which the fan was situated and amidst a short exchange, handed him a team ball before heading back to finish his preparation for the big matchup.

Check out this quick clip of the interaction between the reigning AP Offensive Player of the Year and a fan that has certainly had a challenging few months at the very least.

 

Most likely, fan either traveled a long way to watch his team, or has waited nearly a decade for them to come to his hometown as per the NFL’s rotating schedule for non-conference games. The Niners last beat the Bills in 2012, and they last won in Buffalo four years earlier, so if McCaffrey is to help make this fan’s wish come true, he’s going to have to break a mildly daunting trend.

He and his squad will also have to contradict some much more recent and damning history- the Bills are having a much better year than are the Niners. Buffalo sits atop the AFC East with a record of 9-2, and if the Kansas City Chiefs slip up, the Bills hold the head-to-head tiebreaker if the two teams are tied for the conference’s top seed. Meanwhile, the Niners came into the year with their usual high level of expectations, but they’re sitting below .500 and on the fringes of a tough NFC Wild Card race.
