It appears one Dallas Cowboys fan was really feeling himself last night.
The Cowboys went on the road in the first round of the playoffs and dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
During the Cowboys’ 31-14 win, one of their fans decided to make a FaceTime call. That call went to Deebo Samuel. The Cowboys will playing Samuel’s San Francisco 49ers in the next round of the playoffs.

Deebo Samuel might not be somebody Cowboys fans want to give any extra motivation to heading into this matchup.
This is the 2nd year in a row that the Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers are meeting in the playoffs and last year’s matchup didn’t go so well for the Cowboys. The 49ers led for nearly the entire game and Dallas’ efforts to make a comeback fell short when the clock ran out after a strange decision to have Dak Prescott run the ball up the middle with no timeouts left.
Deebo Samuel was a big reason why the 49ers were so successful in last year’s game. The star wide receiver was held to just 3 catches for 38 yards, but dominated on the ground. He racked up 72 rushing yards and a touchdown on just 10 carries.
Over the weekend, he didn’t make it look like he’s going to be making things any easier for the Cowboys this time around. In the 49ers’ Wild Card round matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, Deebo made 6 catches for 133 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown catch, and added 32 yards on 3 carries for good measure.
The Dallas Cowboys defense will need to be at their best again next weekend or this fan’s FaceTime could backfire on him quickly.
