Injured San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner was all over the Sunday Night Football broadcast despite not being an active participant in his team's enormous victory over the Chicago Bears. Warner joined NBC's pregame show and was featured on some cutaway shots in a box during the first half. Then he made his way down to field level for the defining moments, putting himself in prime position to get a good look at his defensive friends thwarting Caleb Williams's desperate attempt to steal a victory.
Warner, who is hoping to make a dramatic return to the team if it advances deep into the playoffs, was captured on video reacting to the game-sealing stop and celebrating with his teammates. As a knower of ball, he made a beeline to young linebacker Tatum Bethune to congratulate him on his play.
