NFL Reviewing 49ers–Panthers Postgame Scuffle After Moehrig Low Blow, Jennings Strike

Video shows Moehrig hitting Jauan Jennings below the belt, prompting a league review for possible discipline.

Overview

  • After San Francisco’s 20-9 win, Jauan Jennings struck Tre'von Moehrig during postgame handshakes and had to be restrained by teammates and staff.
  • Broadcast replays captured Moehrig punching Jennings in the groin late in the fourth quarter, and no in-game penalty was assessed.
  • Kyle Shanahan called Moehrig’s action a cheap shot and praised Jennings for not reacting during play, while Dave Canales said he will review the film and speak with Moehrig.
  • Moehrig said Jennings had been pushing and “talking crazy” and acknowledged he expects a fine, as the NFL considers fines or suspensions for both players.
  • Coverage cites Detroit safety Brian Branch’s one-game suspension for a similar postgame punch as a potential precedent, with the 49ers visiting the Browns and the Panthers hosting the Rams next.
