There’s typically no love lost between the 49ers and the Cowboys when the two teams face off thanks to a rivalry that can be traced back to the 1970s, and George Kittle went out of his way to keep it alive with the shirt he rocked under his uniform when Dallas and San Francisco faced off on Sunday.
The 49ers headed into the game as slight favorites, and anyone who bet on the guys in red and gold to cover the 3.5-point spread didn’t really have to sweat thanks to the 42-10 thrashing that saw San Francisco improve to 5-0 on the season while Dallas dropped to 3-2 after a dreadful performance from Dak Prescott played a major role in his team getting absolutely embarrassed on Sunday Night Football.
The 49ers offense was clicking on all cylinders in a contest where Brock Purdy extended his unbeaten streak in regular season games (which stretches back to his NFL debut) to 10 while throwing for 252 yards and recording four touchdowns in the air.
He got plenty of help from tight end George Kittle, who was on the receiving end of three of those scores while racking up 67 yards in the process.
Kittle more than earned the right to do some gloating thanks to his performance, and based on a video that was captured by a fan in attendance at Levi’s Stadium, he came prepared with the “F*** DALLAS” shirt he hid under his uniform before flashing that message to the people in the stands while celebrating the touchdown Jordan Mason scored at the start of the fourth quarter.
Alex Tran of Niners Nation said he’d made the shirt in question for Kittle prior to the game, and while it seems like there’s a good chance the TE will get hit with a fine for what seems to be a pretty glaring equipment violation, he’ll probably be more than happy to pay it.
