Kyle Shanahan's fiery run-in with ref shows 49ers players he isn't giving up

SEATTLE — Kyle Shanahan’s unsportsmanlike conduct penalty Sunday might not be the best example set by an NFL head coach, but his players respect him for it.

Game officials made several questionable calls during the 49ers' 43-16 loss to the Seahawks. Jeff Wilson’s fumble, pass interference, illegal contact -- you name it, it happened. San Francisco ended the day with a whopping 13 penalties for 128 yards, although Seattle also was hit for 10 infractions for 100 yards.

Late in the third quarter, the 49ers were called for defensive offside. The ball appeared to be set by the referees early, and the 49ers weren't able to get their subs on and off the field before the Seahawks snapped it.
