We have our next installment of #crypticoffseasonsocialmediaposts, this time courtesy of San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance.
Lance apparently tried to sneak a fast one by us when he posted a picture of new Tennessee Titans GM Ran Carthon to his Instagram story with three ‘fingers crossed’ emojis underneath, but the crack OutKick research department wasn’t having it!
We spotted it, screenshotted it, and are now in the middle of analyzing it like the Zapruder film.
Trey Lance is a big fan of Ran Carthon.
Trey Lance (maybe) wants to follow Ran Carthon to Tennessee Titans
Good try, Trey.

Also in this week’s mailbag: Is Naomi Osaka already a Hall of Famer? And who will be the next American man to win a major?
As it is written, Wednesday is Mailbag Day.
Your good soldiering reminder: Lindsay, Steve, Prakash and I are doing the Tennis Channel pregame shows, which starts 5p ET every night.

HIS FACE IS PUTTY NOW!
Up to this point I’ve been very much in favor of the concept of slap fighting. Then I saw what happened to Sorin Comsa at a tournament in Las Vegas over the weekend and I think I’m over it.

Comsa was competing in the RXF Slap event this past weekend and during the final he was disfigured to ridiculous proportions by his opponent.

The Spaniard was ousted in straight sets in the second round of the Australian Open after suffering a hip injury. How much longer will his body allow him to play?
Chris Almeida: So here we are on the first Wednesday of the Australian Open and Rafa Nadal, who won the tournament last year, is out. He lost 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 to McKenzie MacDonald who, if I’m being totally honest, I’ve never heard of before. But this is not really out of nowhere. We knew coming in that kind of early exit was a possibility.

A best bet for Sunday’s prime-time divisional round matchup between the favored 49ers and the visiting Cowboys.
The Cowboys broke their eight-game road playoff losing streak Monday against the Buccaneers, giving Dak Prescott his first playoff win of his career. Even with a win, the Cowboys got beat in the secondary by Tampa’s wideouts (23/233/1 on 35 targets) and Tom Brady just missed a long score late in the game to Mike Evans.
Dallas has risk defending the run (497/2,198/9 – 4.4 yards per rush), which plays into the 49ers’ strength (467/2,191/18 – 4.7 yards per carry).
