San Francisco 49ers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell delivered a thinly veiled threat to Bills receiver Mack Hollins for pulling on his dreadlocks during Sunday’s blowout loss.
The hair-pulling happened early in the fourth quarter when Buffalo ran a pass play from the Niners’ 8-yard line. Quarterback Josh Allen scrambled to his right, and as he approached the end zone, Campbell turned his attention from his assignment, Hollins, and toward the player running with the ball. When the San Francisco linebacker turned away, Hollins tugged at Campbell’s exposed hair to stop him in his tracks.
All the 31-year-old could do was gesture at Hollins to the officials, but nothing came of it.
