Yeah, Wilson threw a shoe belonging to a San Francisco linebacker Sunday. But he says he was just trying to clear space for Seattle to snap the ball.
Yes, Russell Wilson admitted Friday, he threw a shoe belonging to 49ers linebacker Fred Warner in Sunday’s game, an action that San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan protested vehemently enough that he ended up receiving a personal foul penalty.
Only, Wilson said he didn’t know whose shoe it was, and didn’t intend to impact the game in any way.
The play became an interesting, well, footnote in Seattle’s 43-16 win Sunday when Shanahan explained on Monday why he got a penalty in the third quarter for arguing after the 49ers had been called for being offsides.
