A few old friends took the next step towards football immortality.
Last night, Christian McCaffrey, Steve Wilks and the rest of the San Francisco 49ers topped the Detroit Lions and clinched themselves an NFC championship. Both once a part of the Carolina Panthers organization and beloved by its fans, the two—just a season after their departures—are now set for Super Bowl LVIII.
Here’s how those fans are reacting to their win:

David Tepper had 5 years to build a roster around Christian McCaffrey. He played musical chairs at QB because he’s impatient and then traded him because spreadsheet dorks say you can replace his impact with Chuba Hubbard.
I’m rooting for Cmac https://t.co/YITcqCZaFK
