Routing the Carolina Panthers, 51-13, on October 27, George Kittle and the San Francisco 49ers moved to 7-0 on the season.
Already having established himself as one of the NFC’s most dominant defensive players, former Ohio State Buckeye Nick Bosa recorded four tackles, three sacks of Kyle Allen and one interception in the victory.
It appears Bosa’s dominant play has quickly won over his teammates, via the 49ers’ Twitter account:
"Sign him to a twenty year deal now" 😂

Selected with the No. 2 overall pick in last April’s NFL Draft, Bosa starred for Ohio State from 2016-18. A First Team All-B1G selection in 2017, he racked up 77 tackles (29 TFL) and 17.5 sacks during his time in Columbus.
A former B1G star himself, Kittle played for the Iowa Hawkeyes during the 2013-16 seasons, catching 48 passes for 737 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The lone unbeaten team in the NFC, the 49ers will travel to Glendale to face the Arizona Cardinals (3-4-1) on Thursday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, NFL Network).
