San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings wasn't approaching Carolina Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig for a handshake and a hug after his team's 20-9 win.

Carolina is coming off an unusual offensive game wherein it did not run the ball particularly well but absolutely exploded in the passing game. The Panthers ran for just 67 yards last week against the Falcons, but Bryce Young went an incredible 31 of 45 for 448 yards and three touchdowns.

This week’s edition of Monday Night Football wasn’t too memorable over its 60 minutes of game time. After the final whistle, though, 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings and Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig provided some fireworks in the form of a brief postgame scuffle.
