San Francisco wide receiver Juan Jennings and Detroit corner back Terrion Arnold got into a bit a skirmish during their Monday Night Football clash.
Following Jennings’ block that took Arnold outside the end zone, the two got into it on the grass. As Jennings got up, Joseph joined the play, pushing him over a short wall in the back of the end zone:

According to Dakota Zeintek of Clutch Points:
The result of the play was offsetting unsportsmanlike penalties, keeping the 49ers in the red zone.
With only one of these teams set to make a playoff run following the regular season, this game has been heated to start.
Following the scrum, the 49ers scored the first touchdown, a three-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy to rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall.
However, it didn’t take long for the Lions to answer, following up with a touchdown drive of their own, capped by a Jameson Williams touchdown rush.
And while it’s clear these teams have some tension between each other, it comes as a bit of a surprise, considering how the 49ers’ season has gone this year.
Sitting at 6-9 on the season, this has been a year full of disappointment from the 49ers. With that, they’re still battling for a chance to play spoiler to the Lions’ impressive 2024 season.
Not that doing so would grant them a hidden immunity idol or anything, but it keeps morale strong in the locker room.
