In a surprising turn of events during the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals season finale, both teams experienced a dramatic ejection as 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings and Cardinals cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting were thrown out after a scuffle. This incident marked a chaotic end to what was already a meaningless game for both squads, having been eliminated from the playoffs prior.
The altercation began when Jennings engaged in a physical block on Murphy-Bunting during a run play. Following the whistle, both players continued to wrestle, leading to their ejection after officials intervened. Jennings' ejection was particularly disappointing as he was just 25 yards away from achieving his first career 1,000-yard receiving season.
Despite the ejection, Jennings remained upbeat as he exited the field, showing appreciation to the fans. The game concluded with the Cardinals securing a 47-24 victory, capping off a tumultuous season for both teams.
