Before they opened the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday, a pair of San Francisco 49ers were keeping a close eye on the Iowa Hawkeyes rivalry matchup against the Iowa State Cyclones.
Following the Hawkeyes 20-13 win over their in-state rivals, Iowa State alum Brock Purdy revealed he had lost a bet to former Iowa Hawkeye and now teammate George Kittle.
Before talking with members of the media on Thursday, Purdy showed up to his press conference wearing the Iowa Hawkeye mascot helmet.

Purdy played five seasons in the Big 12 with the Cyclones. Purdy led the Cyclones to four consecutive winning seasons, along with an appearance in the Fiesta Bowl against Oregon. Purdy was a three-time All-Big 12 quarterback.
Kittle also played our seasons at Iowa under Kirk Ferentz. Kittle went 3-1 against Iowa State during his time with the Hawkeyes.
