A playoff game between historical postseason rivals really doesn't need any added hype, but that's exactly what the 49ers-Cowboys wild-card game has gotten ahead of Sunday's showdown.
49ers Pro Bowl pass rusher Nick Bosa was asked about the Cowboys' offensive line, specifically tackles Tyron Smith and La'el Collins. While he was complimentary of both players, Bosa did make a comment that will undoubtedly get back to the Cowboys, if it hasn't already.
"I think they're both very solid players," Bosa said on Thursday, via NFL.com's Kevin Patra. "Obviously, Tyron's had a Hall of Fame career, I think. And him and Trent have been the best tackles in the league for a long time. But they're definitely beatable. There's tape on them getting beat, and we're trying to do the same. They've definitely been in and out of the lineup a lot this year and the past years, so, the game plan is to make them work."
Saying Smith and Collins are "definitely beatable" may not qualify as trash talk, but trash talk is nothing new to this rivalry.
