San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw has shown he is unafraid to get in the faces of opponents, and even of opposing coaches. But on Sunday, he took things a bit too far.
\n\nDuring the hard-fought battle between the archrival 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold scrambled toward Seattle’s sideline, gained 5 yards, and stepped out of bounds as Greenlaw hit him.
\n\nThe refs quickly threw a flag on Greenlaw for unnecessary roughness. But that wasn’t enough for Darnold’s teammates, who immediately confronted the 49er linebacker for hitting their QB.
\n\nOne of them was Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV, who didn’t have his helmet on. Greenlaw, still wearing his helmet, then leaned over and head-butted Jones, who was helmetless.
\n\nThe officials ejected Greenlaw after a quick conference.
\n\n“That’s how it is,” 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game. “You’re going to get baited big time, especially when you’re on their bench. They’re going to get close, and they told me that he head-butted a guy without a helmet. So, if that’s exactly what happened, then we’ve got to be a lot smarter than that. Can’t do that.”
