49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was ejected late in the first half Sunday night for a helmet-to-helmet shot on Chargers QB Justin Herbert.
He was lowering his shoulder to hit the QB on a play where Herbert tucked and ran. 49ers defensive back Jimmie Ward hit Herbert, which knocked him forward into Greenlaw.
It did not seem like the proper use of the disqualification rule, but they want to legislate helmet-to-helmet contact out of the sport, so this is one way they’re going about it.
