Late in Monday Night Football, the San Francisco 49ers beat the Carolina Panthers 20\u20139, but attention shifted to a heated post-game incident. After the game, 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings pushed Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig in the face mask in reaction to a punch to his groin area that occurred during the game. Jennings told reporters he was simply responding to what he felt was \u201cchildish behavior.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Panthers coach Dave Canales said he would review the film and talk to Moehrig about the incident, while 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan praised Jennings for showing restraint rather than letting emotions boil over. League discipline is possible: both players face the possibility of fines or suspension. Witnesses and video showed the punch happened after the whistle, and the NFL has previously penalized \u201cnon-football acts\u201d in post-game scuffles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident drew more scrutiny given Jennings\u2019 reputation for physical play and previous ejection from last season\u2019s finale for unnecessary roughness. Moehrig, meanwhile, said Jennings was \u201cpushing me in the back and talking crazy\u201d and that his response was \u201cwhat it is\u201d\u2014though he acknowledged he likely will be fined. The episode adds a wrinkle to the 49ers\u2019 playoff push and underscores how tempers can flare in high-stakes NFL games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
