The San Francisco 49ers held off a late surge from the Dallas Cowboys in order to advance to the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. After the game, 49ers star defensive end Nick Bosa, who went down with a concussion during the game, fired some shots in the direction of the Cowboys via his Instagram account. Bosa posted some celebratory photos from Sunday's victory, captioning his post, “49ers = Americas Team.”

Shots fired. Bosa didn't hold back when taking a jab at the Cowboys, roasting the team after the Niners' impressive victory on Sunday. As for their status as America's Team? It seems Bosa has stripped them of the title, boldly declaring the Niners as the new America's Team.
The 23-17 victory ended up being a lot closer than it looked like it would be. Injuries to Bosa and linebacker Fred Warner allowed the Cowboys to claw back into contention, but ultimately the Niners' defense, and a questionable play call from Kellen Moore and Mike McCarthy, shut the door on a comeback.
Bosa was removed from the game before halftime after suffering a head injury and was later ruled out for the game. His status for the Divisional Round matchup against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers remains up in the air, but that hasn't stopped Bosa from having a laugh at Dallas' expense.
Bosa featured on just 32% of the Niners' defensive snaps due to his head injury, but still made a significant impact, recording 0.5 sacks, three tackles, and one QB hit.
