Overview

• Fox cameras briefly caught the heated exchange at Levi’s Stadium as players and staff held back Jaguars coach Liam Coen and 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, with video shared by NFL insider Ari Meirov.
• Saleh said days earlier that Jacksonville operates a “legally, really advanced signal‑stealing‑type system,” emphasizing he was not alleging anything illegal.
• Liam Coen declined throughout the week to fully address the remarks and after the game downplayed the confrontation, saying, “Not a big deal. We’ll keep that between us.”
• 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan connected the exchange to Saleh’s comments and told reporters he did not think Coen “should be so sensitive” about them.
• Jacksonville won 26-21 by forcing four turnovers, with Travis Etienne Jr. rushing for 124 yards including a 48-yard touchdown, handing San Francisco its first loss of the season.
