Nick Bosa isn’t a noted trash talker around the NFL, but the San Francisco 49ers rookie just couldn’t help himself Monday night.
The undefeated 49ers handed the Browns a 31-3 thumping on “Monday Night Football,” stifling Cleveland signal-caller Baker Mayfield in the process. That came after Mayfield snubbed Richard Sherman in the pregame handshake following the coin toss, a “bush league” move that drew the ire of the Niners cornerback.
After the game, Bosa was asked for a specific example of a chirp he sent Mayfield’s way during the contest. His response didn’t disappoint.
"Baker … Baker … Come on, pick it up. We want a challenge."

Bosa also added to the win by mocking Mayfield’s signature flag plant, so it’s clear the rookie enjoyed himself Monday night — and deservedly so.
