49ers Faithful knew Sunday’s game between San Francisco and the Philadelphia Eagles would be a fiery affair, but they probably didn’t expect non-players to share in the tension.
49ers star linebacker Dre Greenlaw and the Eagles Chief Security Officer Dom DeSandro Both were ejected from the Week 13 game at Lincoln Financial Field in the third quarter after an altercation between the two on the Philadelphia sideline.
Prior to the brawl between Greenlaw and DiSandro, the 49ers linebacker was called for unnecessary roughness after hitting Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith to the ground near the sideline. DiSandro objected to the interference and an argument ensued.
Head of security He received a standing ovation from Eagles fans when he left the field.
It certainly wasn’t Greenlaw’s first unnecessary roughness penalty this season, and he was recently ejected for a hit on Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert during the 2022 NFL season.
While the Eagles continued to score on that eventful drive, the 49ers responded with a 48-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy to wideout Deebo Samuel and extended their lead to 27-13.
