In the wake of San Francisco’s 42-10 domination of the Dallas Cowboys, 49ers star Deebo Samuel let it be known that the next time the two meet the humiliation might be even worse for Big D.
“I don’t think [the Cowboys] want to see us again,” Samuel told Kay Adams on FanDuel’s “Up & Adams” show.
“It might be a little bit worse,” he said.

Samuel’s pointed comment was triggered by the post-game words of Cowboys All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons.
Parsons was clearly annoyed that Niners tight end George Kittle proudly displayed his “F*CK DALLAS” undershirt during the game.
“I just feel like he’s making it way more personal than it had to be,” Parsons remarked on his own podcast, “The Edge with Micah Parsons.”
“Kittle’s my guy, but I’m going to say this … Laugh now, cry later. We got something for that, just trust. If we see them again, just trust … You gonna make it personal? We can make it personal,” he said.

Samuel, in response to Parsons’ remarks, highlighted that the Cowboys pregame comments had already set a personal tone.
“It was already personal before the game started, and now … 42-10 … I don’t think you want to see us again,” Samuel told Adams.
“It might be a little bit worse. I don’t know what we’re ‘trusting.’ He’s talking about ‘we trust,’ you know, ‘laugh now, cry later.’ I mean, I don’t think y’all wanna see us again.”

The 49ers resounding victory not only marked their most lopsided win in the long-standing rivalry with the Cowboys but also came just a day before George Kittle’s 30th birthday.
Kittle’s controversial undershirt was seen as a nod to former 49ers linebacker Gary Plummer, who wore similar shirt worn during the 1994 NFC Championship Game against the Cowboys.
Samuel acknowledged that the game held special significance due to its historical context.
“We look at every game the same, but this game was a little different [because of] the history,” he explained. “But we can’t get too hyped or let our emotions get the best of us before the game.”

The dominant victory firmly established the 49ers as (early) Super Bowl favorites.
Samuel knows that they are a team that checks every box and can win games in multiple ways.
“You never know who’s gonna go off,” he said when asked about Kittle’s three-touchdown performance. “You never know whose day it’s going to be. That’s why I love this team and how many people we have that can put the ball in the end zone.”
The only concern for San Francisco is that they’re peaking too early … But that’s a damn good problem to have, isn’t it?
Do you agree that they are indeed the Super Bowl favorites?
