49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught a third-and-7 pass short of the sticks early in the third quarter of Saturday’s wild card win over the Seahawks. He turned upfield and went for 22 yards and a first down that put San Francisco in the red zone when they trailed Seattle 17-16. After the play, Seahawks safety Johnathan Abram tugged and twisted Samuel’s ankle in what became a turning point in Saturday’s game.
Samuel stayed on the ground after the play and eventually walked off the field under his own power, but not before a scuffle broke out in the middle of the field after the 49ers took exception to what they perceived to be a dirty play.
