49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel contributed a big part in San Francisco’s 41–23 wild card win against the Seahawks on Saturday.
But in helping San Francisco secure the big win, the 49ers wide receiver was part of a controversial tackle during the game with Seahawks’ Johnathan Abram. With under 10:30 to play in the third quarter, Samuel picked up a first down for the 49ers on a 21-yard reception and was then tackled by Abram.
But after the play was clearly over, Abram held on to Samuel’s ankle and appeared to twist it, signaling a response from Samuel, a series of boos from fans inside Levi’s Stadium and a short conflict on the field.
