Andrew Luck was the real winner of the 49ers-Giants and nobody can convince me differently.
Former Colts quarterback and Stanford star Andrew Luck had a surprise for fans following Week 3’s Giants-49ers game. Appearing on Amazon’s Thursday Night Football postgame show, the four-time Pro Bowler came out dressed up in full Civil War gear.
For those who remember, Luck assumed the “Capt. Andrew Luck” persona based on a hugely popular Twitter account and internet meme during his playing career.
He was rocking the costume for a postgame quiz show segment related to the annual Cal-Stanford rivalry matchup.
For those who were not on Twitter at the time, the account spoofed Luck’s beard and short hair, and a black-and-white image was created with Luck in a Civil War uniform and the character of “Capt. Andrew Luck” would write letters home, often to his mother. It was simply perfect.

As you can see, Luck is clearly enjoying his retirement four years after stepping away from what looked like a Hall of Fame NFL career. Luck retired from football in August 2019, a move that shocked Indianapolis Colts fans and the NFL at large. He cited a cycle of injuries for the decision.
He has since returned to football as he is coaching as an assistant at Palo Alto High School.
Luck and his wife, Nicole, have welcomed two daughters in the meantime and he gets to be a full-time father.
