George Kittle's viral moment takes Cowboys' painful loss to the next level

The Dallas Cowboys themselves have made it clear.
They were punched in the mouth, Dak Prescott said. They didn't see it coming, Mike McCarthy said. CeeDee Lamb claimed he doesn't know how they can fix the offense.
It was total domination from the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. One of the biggest reasons behind it was tight end George Kittle, who has become one of the main nightmares haunting Cowboys fans' dreams.
The same man who made an unbelievable playoff catch in January (as Trevon Diggs whiffed on the tackle, no less) was right back doing his thing versus Dallas with a three-touchdown performance in Week 5.
The first one was a 19-yard catch on a post route with him flexed out of the offensive line. Later, Kyle Shanahan schemed him wide open through a double flea-flicker that Brock Purdy delivered in stride. The third and final one came on a double move, where was once again open in the end zone.
By the way, those were his only catches in the game. Three catches, three touchdowns. A demolishing of the Cowboys' defense, which entered Sunday as one of the best in the league.
Nothing could've made it worse. Except perhaps… George Kittle's T-Shirt.
The 49ers superstar revealed a "F***k Dallas" shirt underneath his jersey following this third touchdown of the night. Talk about adding insult to injury in a massive way.
Like it or not, it's about much more than the shirt itself. It's about the fact that, while the Cowboys talked about this being more than just any game and knew how important of a test it was, for the 49ers… it really was just another game.
Deciding to wear that shirt before even taking the field, honestly, speaks to the fact that the Niners don't even respect Dallas as a threat anymore. Kittle knew one way or another, he'd get to show off his shirt. It's their conference. And the Cowboys don't belong to the same tier they do.
Do the Philadelphia Eagles belong? Maybe. Does the AFC elite belong? We'll find out. But right now, we know the Cowboys don't. It seems like Kittle knew way before kickoff.
