""I was just responding to some childish behavior,""
""I was really proud of Jauan for not losing his mind out there and getting to the sideline,""
""That was just out of nowhere," Jennings said. "I think it's probably just like I was saying, just the history of me playing ball. I play hard. I'm physically stronger than a lot of DBs out there and a lot of things happen in between the whistles. With me at least.""
After the 49ers' 20-9 victory over Carolina, wide receiver Jauan Jennings confronted Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig and landed an open-handed right cross to Moehrig's face. Panthers linebacker Krys Barnes and 49ers senior director of player engagement Austin Moss II intervened to separate the players. Television replays showed Moehrig delivering a punch to Jennings' groin late in the game. Jennings did not retaliate during play and appealed to officials for a flag. Jennings described his postgame response as answering "childish behavior," and coach Kyle Shanahan called Moehrig's action a "cheap shot," praising Jennings' composure.
