A questionable tackle on star receiver Deebo Samuel led to a tense dust-up on Saturday during the third quarter of the wild-card round matchup between the Seahawks and 49ers.
The incident occurred after Samuel came away with a 21-yard reception on third-and-seven with just under 10:30 minutes left in the quarter. The Niners wideout was brought down at the end of his highlight play by Seahawks safety Johnathan Abram, who grabbed him around his left ankle to make the tackle.
Just as the play was settling down, however, Abram hung on to Samuel’s ankle and appeared to twist it as he stood to his feet.
