Deebo Samuel didn’t wait long to start bragging following the 49ers’ 19-12 Divisional Round win over the Cowboys on Sunday night.
The San Francisco star receiver took to Instagram to post a carousel of pictures with the caption “Don’t Poke the Bear.”
Among the photos featured was one of Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons with a quote “This is who I wanted,” in reference to facing the 49ers. The reel also featured lineman Trent Williams laughing at Cowboys fans giving him the middle finger and a shot of Shannon Sharpe at the Lakers game after the NFL Hall of Famer feuded with the Grizzlies.
Parsons, 23, responded: “Lol what did you do today fam lol ?! But congrats on the win ! But don’t put me in this weak ass slide.”
The comment has over 19,000 likes in the past 12 hours.
In the 49ers’ low-scoring win, the 27-year-old Samuel recorded 45 yards on four receptions and 11 yards on four carries. Parsons recorded four combined tackles in his final game of the season.
The last time the Cowboys reached the NFC Championship was 27 years ago, when they beat Brett Favre’s Green Bay Packers and went on to win Super Bowl XXX over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 49ers will now take on the top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game on Sunday at 3 p.m. A season ago, San Francisco lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the game. The 49ers took a 17-7 lead into the fourth quarter, but the Rams scored the final 13 points to claim the win on their way to a Super Bowl victory over the Bengals.
