"The guy took a cheap shot and hit him in the (groin), Shanahan said. I was real proud of Jauan for not losing his mind out there and getting him to the sideline."
"I was just responding to some childish behavior, Jenning said after the game. That was just out of nowhere. It's probably the history of me playing ball. I play hard. I'm physically stronger than a lot of DBs. A lot of things happen in between the whistle, with me at least."
"He was just doing some extra stuff after the play, Moehrig said. I'll take that one. It wasn't just frustration. It was isolated."
"You're talking about how small this window is for us, he said. Being a seventh-rounder, cut, I don't want to make any mistakes."
Jauan Jennings was punched in the groin by Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig while blocking on a 49ers run play. Coach Kyle Shanahan praised Jennings for keeping his composure and getting to the sideline rather than retaliating during the game. Jennings later took an open-handed swipe at Moehrig during the postgame handshake line and described his reaction as responding to "childish behavior." Moehrig said Jennings had been "doing some extra stuff" during the game. Jennings cited the team's narrow Super Bowl window and his precarious roster history for avoiding immediate retaliation. Both players could face NFL discipline.
