Nick Bosa and the San Francisco 49ers defense made life tough for Baker Mayfield on Monday night.
Through just one half of football, the 49ers forced three turnovers out of the Browns, with Bosa causing havoc for the Cleveland offensive line.
As the first half wound to a close, the Browns attempted to get one more drive going, only for Bosa to blow up Mayfield in the backfield and force an intentional grounding penalty that would end the first half.
After making the play, Bosa celebrated by waving and planting an imaginary flag.
The move was a bit of revenge for Bosa, mocking a celebration Mayfield made against his Ohio State Buckeyes.
After Mayfield led Oklahoma to victory against the Buckeyes at the Horseshoe, he famously grabbed an OU flag and brought it out to midfield, where he waved it from side to side before planting it in the ground.
At the time, some fans thought the move was disrespectful, and it's clear that Bosa, who was at Ohio State at the time, didn't especially appreciate the gesture.
Fans on Twitter were quick to shout out Bosa for getting his revenge.
It took two years, but Bosa got his revenge.
