Summary
Christian McCaffrey said an Australian barber twice told him his haircut looked "cracker," leaving the 30-year-old 49ers star briefly confused because he knew the word as a U.S. slur.
At his postgame news conference in Melbourne, McCaffrey said he later learned "cracker" in Australia means something looks very good, drawing laughs from teammates George Kittle and Deebo Samuel.
The anecdote came after San Francisco routed the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 on Thursday night, giving the 49ers room to joke after a comfortable season-opening win.
McCaffrey finished with 10 carries for 68 yards and five catches for 20 yards, while rookie Kaelon Black added 14 carries for 65 yards as the 49ers managed the veteran's workload before Week 2 against Miami.
