The Week 12 “Monday Night Football” matchup between the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> and the Carolina Panthers ended in controversy after a postgame brawl broke out between 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings and Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, the NFL ensured that both parties involved in the incident were dealt disciplinary actions.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the NFL announced that Moehrig would be forced to miss the Panthers Week 13 game against the Los Angeles Rams after being dealt a one-game suspension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Jennings did start the postgame altercation, it was determined that he was responding to being punched below the belt by Moehrig late in the fourth quarter of Monday’s game.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Jennings, the NFL did not absolve him of his actions after the game. <\/p>\n

According to 49ers beat reporter Matt Maiocco, the NFL has handed him down a $12,172 fine for retaliating against Moehrig at the conclusion of Monday’s game.<\/p>\n

Given how the NFL has handled similar altercations this season, this decision from the league is far from unexpected. <\/p>\n

Notably, Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey received a fine for a similar amount after his Week 11 brawl with Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Much like Moehrig, Chase was dealt a one-game suspension after being determined to be the aggressor by spitting on Ramsey. <\/p>\n

The precedent has clearly been set by the league that altercations, regardless of the circumstances and who the aggressor is, will result in punishments for both sides. <\/p>\n

This decision from the NFL obviously isn’t ideal for Jennings. However, it is as good of news as the 49ers could have hoped for given the circumstances. <\/p>\n

San Francisco is set to face off against the Cleveland Browns in a crucial Week 13 game for the 49ers to stay in the highly competitive NFC Wild Card race. Sitting at 8-4, the likes of the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are closely trailing them for the final Wild Card spot in the conference. <\/p>\n

Having Jennings at their disposal on offense should certainly go a long way in San Francisco’s attempt to stave off an upset attempt from the Browns, who seem to have new life with Shedeur Sanders under center. <\/p>\n
