Deebo Samuel’s frustration boiled over to the San Francisco 49ers’ sideline on Sunday when he tried to fight two of his teammates.
After Jake Moody missed his third field goal of the contest, Samuel got caught in the heat of the close game and approached both the kicker and snapper Taybor Pepper.
A clip shows Samuel grabbing Pepper’s neck and swiping at Moody’s helmet in one motion. Pepper then went after the wide receiver before. Moody’s cooler head prevailed as he held the snapper back.
At the end of four quarters, the 49ers would emerge victorious, 23-20, thanks to Moody’s late-game heroics.
Despite going 3/6 in field goals for the afternoon, his final make came in the dying seconds and won the game for San Francisco from 44 yards.
