Micah Parsons clearly took offense at George Kittle's manner of celebrating the 49ers' Sunday Night Football rout of the Cowboys.
But both Kittle and 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel are clearly unconcerned by the Cowboys edge rusher's vow to deliver a different result if the two teams meet again in the postseason.
Kittle scored three touchdowns in the 49ers' 42-10 blowout of Dallas and celebrated a Jordan Mason rushing score by revealing a t-shirt that read 'F*** Dallas', a callback to a shirt worn by former Niners linebacker Gary Plummer during the 1990s. Parsons did not take kindly to it.
Speaking on 'The Edge with Micah Parsons', he said: "Kittle’s my guy but [I’m gonna] say this: laugh now, cry later. We got something for that, just trust. If we see them again, just trust. And we gonna put it just like that. I ain’t gonna put too much on it. You gonna make it personal? We can make it personal, that’s cool."
Asked about Parsons' words on 'Up and Adams', Samuel quickly put Parsons in his place.
"It was already personal before the game started … 42-10, I don't think you want to see us again," said Samuel. "It might be a little worse. I don't think he wants to see us again."
Kittle, meanwhile, made it clear he's only too happy to repeat his antics should the Niners and Cowboys meet again.
"At the end of the day it's Niners vs Cowboys," Kittle told KNBR. "It's historic. It's fun to channel that energy once in a while, that's all I was doing. I'd do it again. I'm a mild internet troll."
Samuel and Kittle' words will likely only annoy Parsons further but, having ended the Cowboys season in the playoffs in each of the last two years before brushing them aside in primetime, the 49ers have little reason to be concerned with what he has to say.
The 49ers have let their play on the field do the talking. Until Parsons does the same by making an impact in a game against San Francisco, nothing he says will matter much to anybody inside the Niner locker room.
The 49ers’ next primetime showdown just got a lot less daunting
It makes the challenge a little easier.
