San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan defended Jauan Jennings' sucker punch on Tre'von Moehrig after the 'MNF' game.
After the San Francisco 49ers beat the Carolina Panthers 20-9, there was a post-game scuffle that involved Jajuan Jennings and Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig.
Kyle Shanahan explained exactly why Jauan Jennings took a swing at the Panthers' safety after the 49ers' 20-9 MNF win.
During the San Francisco 49ers-Carolina Panthers game on Monday, Tre’Von Moehrig allegedly struck Jauan Jennings in the groin with a closed-fist punch.
It's unclear if the NFL will be as forgiving as Shanahan. The league recently handed a one-game suspension to Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch for smacking Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster postgame, so there's the precedent for Jennings.
Jauan Jennings masterfully avoided saying anything when asked about the 49ers' decision to void Brandon Aiyuk's 2026 guaranteed money.
