The 49ers might be up 14-10 on our Seahawks right now, but they’re gonna have to finish this one without linebacker Dre Greenlaw. The dude just got tossed with 6:04 left on the clock for something you have to see to believe: he headbutted our own Ernest Jones IV, who was literally without his helmet!
Unbelievable Moment On The Sideline
So here’s how it went down. Our QB, Sam Darnold, made a 5-yard scramble, and Greenlaw forced him out of bounds right into our sideline. That’s where the chaos erupted. Ernest Jones IV, our linebacker, must have said something to Greenlaw, because the next thing anyone knew, Greenlaw leaned in and headbutted Jones. And yeah, Jones didn’t have his helmet on at the time. The refs weren’t having any of it, slapping Greenlaw with a 15-yard penalty that moved our Hawks all the way to the San Francisco 32-yard line. It’s a huge shift in field position, and a boneheaded move that puts the 49ers down a key player.
This Isn’t Greenlaw’s First Rodeo
Honestly, is anyone surprised? This isn’t the first time Greenlaw has seen an early exit. Back on December 3, 2023, he got ejected from a game against the Eagles because he got into a whole scuffle with Eagles chief security officer Dom DiSandro. And get this, just last week, the NFL fined him $11,941 for taunting the Broncos’ sideline. You gotta wonder if this guy ever learns. He’s a liability, and today, that liability just handed our Hawks some serious field position.
With Greenlaw gone and our Hawks sitting pretty at the 49ers’ 32-yard line, the momentum feels like it’s shifting. Let’s see if we can capitalize on this massive mistake and turn this game around!
