The animosity between the 49ers and Eagles spilled over onto the sidelines during their Week 13 matchup as the NFC rivals engaged in a heated scuffle that resulted in two ejections.
With the 49ers leading, 21–6, midway through the third quarter, tensions flared after Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith was slammed to the turf by 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw along Philadelphia’s sideline after the play had been whistled dead.
Smith immediately popped to his feet and started exchanging words with Greenlaw as several Eagles players and staff members joined in. Suddenly, Greenlaw took a swipe and made slight contact with the face of an Eagles staffer identified on-air as Dom DiSandro, the club’s chief security officer and senior advisor to the general manager.
