Colorado Avalanche a Modern NHL Powerhouse
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings and Carolina Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig got into a postgame altercation after the Niners’ 20-9 win on “Monday Night Football.”
Jennings approached Moehrig on the field after the game and threw two open-handed punches toward Moehrig’s face. Carolina linebacker Krys Barnes pushed Jennings away to initially break it up before San Francisco staff and teammates came in to hold Jennings back.
However, Jennings said his actions were a result of an earlier hit from Moehrig. Tensions rose in the final few minutes of the game, and replay showed that Moehrig appeared to throw a punch below Jennings’ belt after a play was over.
“The TV is gonna tell you what happened,” Jennings said. “To me, I was just responding to some childish behavior.
“I play hard. I’m physically stronger than a lot of DBs.”
Moehrig said he expects he’ll get fined for the low hit and that Jennings was talking trash and pushed him in the back. He said he doesn’t have any history with Jennings, but the frustration “manifested” throughout Monday night.
