49ers Coach Addresses Deebo Samuel Altercation

The San Francisco 49ers, after their 23-20 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are facing scrutiny due to a sideline altercation involving star receiver Deebo Samuel, kicker Jake Moody, and long snapper Taybor Pepper. Samuel confronted Moody about his missed field goals, leading to a heated exchange where he shoved Pepper and made contact with Moody. Coach Kyle Shanahan characterized the incident as an 'overreaction' and emphasized that the team has moved past it, stating, 'We squashed it and we’re good.' Samuel acknowledged his actions were out of character, while Moody downplayed the scuffle as a momentary lapse. Despite the distraction, the 49ers are looking forward to their upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks, aiming to build on their consecutive wins. Shanahan expressed confidence in his team, affirming Samuel's intentions were not malicious and that the players have resolved their differences.
