The 49ers may be out of the playoffs for the first time in four years, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have some fun at the expense of Manti Te’o.

During the Chargers' 38-35 win over the 49ers on Saturday night, San Francisco tackle Anthony Davis took a stab at the San Diego linebacker regarding the girlfriend hoax Te'o he can’t seem to outrun, despite a respectable first two years in the NFL (109 combined tackles).

"I asked Manti Te’o about his imaginary Girlfriend last night and he snapped. lol I thought was hilarious," Davis said on Twitter.

However, Te’o and the Chargers had the last laugh in overtime to move into an AFC wild card spot. 

Te’o will likely hear similar jokes throughout his career, but at least he can rest easy knowing Dixon will have to make them from his couch in January.
