Christian McCaffrey’s Laughable Flop Against the Eagles Had Even the Ref Shaking His Head

Christian McCaffrey’s hilarious flop attempt during Sunday’s showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles didn’t fool anyone.

The Niners’ star running back had been wrapped up by Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox with the play blown dead. But as Cox let go, McCaffrey spun himself to the ground, seemingly trying to bait a penalty for a late hit from the officiating crew.
