The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 30-24 on ‘Sunday Night Football’ in Week 8. The victory led to a somewhat awkward moment on the field during a live post-game interview.
49ers defensive end Nick Bosa crashed NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark’s live postgame interview Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Isaac Guerendo on the Levi’s Stadium field; The 49ers star appeared in the background wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.
Bosa leaned over Purdy’s shoulder and pointed towards his white-and-gold cap, which featured former president Donald Trump’s ‘MAGA’ slogan.
His teammates paused and acknowledged him; Kittle laughed as Bosa returned to the locker room. Stark seemed to be caught off guard as Bosa wasn’t among the game’s stars selected for the live interview.
‘Alright, Nick Bosa with a message there,’ Stark said.
