Jauan Jennings gets hit below belt, strikes Tre'von Moehrig in postgame scuffle originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Jauan Jennings took a low blow at the end of the 49ers’ 20-9 win over the Carolina Panthers on Monday night, and he likely will pay the price for retaliating.

Panthers safety Tre’Von Moehrig struck Jennings below the belt with under three minutes remaining in the game at Levi’s Stadium, and Jennings responded by striking Moehrig as the teams converged for postgame handshakes.

Jennings could face a suspension from the NFL for his actions. The 49ers travel to Cleveland to take on Shedeur Sanders and the Browns at 10 a.m. PT on Sunday.

“Man, TV is going to tell you what happened,” Jennings told reporters after the win. “I was just responding, to me, to some childish behavior. That’s all it was.”

Jennings was asked if the tension with Moehrig had been building during the game.

“It was just out of nowhere,” Jennings told reporters. “Like I said, just the history of me playing ball. I play hard. I’m physically stronger than lot of DBs out there, so a lot of things happen in between the whistle, at least with me.”

This isn’t the first or second time Jennings has been involved in on-field skirmishes.

At the end of last season, Jennings was fined nearly $12,000 for a fight during the 49ers’ Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. A week later, the wide receiver was ejected for his involvement in two separate incidents against the Arizona Cardinals.

Jennings got the 49ers on the board with the first touchdown of the game and finished with 41 receiving yards on five receptions.

But he very likely will receive some sort of punishment from the league in the coming days.
