The 49ers Faithful knew Sunday’s game between San Francisco and the Philadelphia Eagles would be a heated matchup, but they probably didn’t expect non-players to get caught up in the tension.
Star 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Eagles chief security officer Dom DiSandro were both ejected from the Week 13 game at Lincoln Financial Field in the third quarter after a fight between the two on the Philadelphia sideline argument had come.
Before the altercation between Greenlaw and DiSandro, the 49ers linebacker was called out for unnecessary roughness after knocking Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith to the ground near the sideline. DiSandro was annoyed by the tackle and an argument broke out.
The security chief received a standing ovation from Eagles fans as he left the field.
It certainly wasn’t Greenlaw’s first unnecessary roughness penalty this season, and he was most recently sent off for a hit on Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert during the 2022 NFL season.
While the Eagles scored on this eventful drive, the 49ers responded with a 48-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy to wideout Deebo Samuel, extending their lead to 27-13.
