Notes: C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Deebo Samuel’s beef, explained

Before their Week 6 matchup with the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers’ wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk got into a scuffle with Browns’ safety Juan Thornhill.

It started with Aiyuk and Thornhill getting in each other’s faces, with Samuel racing up and bumping Thornhill back. Browns’ safety D’Anthony Bell pushes Samuel, and Niners’ left tackle Trent Williams flies in, and pushes Thornhill so hard that his helmet comes off.

In the end, it was a minor dustup before a physical football game. However, Detroit Lions’ safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson wasn’t having the San Francisco receivers having to be bailed out by their All-Pro left tackle.
