US EditionJauan Jennings Throws Punch at Tre'Von Moehrig After Cheap Shot in 49ers' Win over Panthers
Jennings retaliated with a punch after Moehrig's unflagged groin strike; both players may face NFL discipline following the 49ers' 20-9 victory.
- Yesterday San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings punched Carolina Panthers safety Tre'Von Moehrig after a groin blow during postgame handshakes following San Francisco's 20-9 win in Santa Clara, Calif.
- In the Panthers locker room, Tre'Von Moehrig explained he responded to San Francisco's physical play and trash talking, calling it isolated and saying, `There really ain't much to it`.
- Television replays captured Jennings striking Moehrig's helmet with an open-handed blow, undetected by officials, while San Francisco personnel including left tackle Trent Williams tackled and escorted Jennings to the locker room shortly after.
- The NFL is likely to review film and could issue potential fines or one-game suspensions, recalling Brian Branch’s one-game ban earlier this season for a postgame punch.
- Coach Kyle Shanahan called Moehrig's hit a cheap shot and praised Jauan Jennings for not escalating, while Dave Canales said he will discuss the incident with Moehrig; Jennings has a history of physical play, including a prior ejection last season.
