49ers' Deebo Samuel grabs teammate's throat in fight after missed field goal

After another missed field goal attempt, two San Francisco 49ers players got into a physical altercation on the sideline during Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers.

Jake Moody missed his third field of the day, hooking a 44-yard field goal wide right with 3:13 left in the fourth quarter, giving Tampa Bay the ball down 20-17. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel confronted Moody about his miss, which prompted long snapper Taybor Pepper to get in between the two in defense of his special teams teammate.

After a brief back-and-forth, Samuel then grabbed Pepper by the neck and gave him a shove before turning his back on the long snapper.
