Through the first four weeks of the NFL season, Niners tight end George Kittle hadn’t scored a touchdown. But come Sunday’s game against the Cowboys, Kittle broke out in a huge way and went into the game with his own message for Dallas.
Kittle hauled in three receptions in the 42-10 win — all of which went for touchdowns. It was a massive game for Kittle, and it got even more epic later in the night.
Following Jordan Mason’s 26-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that put the Niners up 32 points, video from the game captured Kittle making his way towards the stands and lifting his jersey to show off an undershirt. The shirt read, “(Expletive) Dallas.” (NSFW language in the video)

It was an apparent nod to former Niners linebacker Gary Plummer who wore a similar undershirt during games against the Cowboys.
But to wear that shirt while catching a career-high three touchdowns in a game? That was next-level confidence from Kittle. Niners fans understandably loved the shirt as well. (Warning: NSFW language in the tweets below)
This was how Twitter reacted
