Jauan Jennings Ejected in Season Finale Fight

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings was ejected in the second quarter of their season finale against the Arizona Cardinals after a skirmish with cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting, costing him a chance to achieve his first career 1,000-yard receiving season. Jennings finished the game with 975 yards, just 25 yards short of the milestone, having made seven catches for 52 yards before his disqualification. Both players were involved in back-to-back altercations, leading to offsetting personal fouls, and ultimately, their ejections as tensions escalated on the field. The 49ers were clearly attempting to maximize Jennings' receiving yards during the game, as he had been targeted 10 times. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and Jennings expressed disbelief at the officiating decision amid the chaos. Despite the disappointing end to his season, Jennings had a breakout year, significantly surpassing his previous career high of 416 yards.
