Overview
- Broadcast replays showed Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig deliver a low blow to 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings late in the fourth quarter of San Francisco’s 20-9 win.
- After the final whistle, Jennings approached Moehrig during handshakes and struck him in the facemask before teammates and staff restrained him.
- League discipline is anticipated for one or both players, with recent precedent including a one-game suspension for Lions safety Brian Branch for a postgame strike.
- 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan labeled Moehrig’s in-game action a cheap shot and praised Jennings for holding back during play, while Panthers coach Dave Canales said he would review the film.
- Moehrig acknowledged he likely faces a fine and said Jennings had been pushing and talking trash; Jennings finished with five catches for 41 yards and a touchdown as the teams prepare for Browns and Rams matchups next.
