"But the scene immediately after the game was quite remarkable, as 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings took a swing at Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig during what are normally just collegial postgame handshakes, and bizarrely had to be restrained (and tackled!) by his own teammates and assistant coaches. What was Jennings's deal? Well, the internet did its thing. By the time came on, video sleuths had found footage showing that the Panthers' Moehrig had delivered a dirty punch late in the game right smack-dab at Jennings's gonads."
"Instead, Jennings wisely saved his retaliation for after the game, when he would not get a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. And it does not sound like Jauan Jennings is in coach Mike Shanahan's doghouse because of this postgame outburst. The guy took a cheap shot and hit him in the balls, Shanahan said after the game. I was real proud of Jauan for not losing his mind out there."
San Francisco defeated Carolina 20-9 on Monday Night Football in a game dominated by the 49ers. Late in the game, Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig delivered a punch to 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings's groin during a play. Jennings did not retaliate during the game to avoid a flag, but after the final whistle he swung at Moehrig during customary postgame exchanges and had to be restrained by teammates and coaches. Video evidence circulated identifying the initial hit. Coach Mike Shanahan praised Jennings for not losing his composure during play, though Jennings could face fines or a suspension.
