The San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals got into a fracas late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s Week 9 contest, and it resulted in Carlos Hyde, Frostee Rucker, and Haason Reddick all getting ejected for fighting.
At the 3:29 mark in the game (video), quarterback C.J. Beathard scrambled from the pocket, and as he was sliding to the ground, Antoine Bethea lowered his shoulder and hit him in the face. Bethea was flagged for a hit to the head/neck area. Beathard started his slide a little late, and if Bethea had hit him in the chest or lower body, I don’t think we would have seen the personal foul.
