SANTA CLARA — No one seems to care how Russell Wilson threw four touchdown passes against the 49ers on Dec. 2. Instead, it’s another of his throws that’s all the rage heading into Sunday’s rematch when his Seattle Seahawks visit the 49ers.
When Wilson picked up linebacker Fred Warner’s stray shoe and chucked it to the side, that triggered a series of unfortunate events for the 49ers, and it cost coach Kyle Shanahan a $25,000 fine he’s appealing.
To quickly recap, Warner’s shoe came off late in the third quarter, Wilson tossed it aside, Warner scrambled to the sideline upon retrieving it, and Elijah Lee was tardy replacing him so officials penalized him for offside.
