The 49ers have a bye week and aren’t playing a game this Sunday. Good thing, because their stars look to be spending more time on Halloween outfits than game film.

Fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk posted an Instagram (opens in new tab) Tuesday of her dressed up as Mona Lisa Vito and her husband, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, as lawyer Vinny Gambini from “My Cousin Vinny.” Yes, they even blessed the internet with a reel of them lip-syncing to Marisa Tomei’s famous biological clock monologue (opens in new tab).
