Seahawks safety Johnathan Abram sparked a scuffle after Deebo Samuel’s big catch during the 49ers and Seahawks wild-card round matchup on Saturday.
On a third down during the Seattle and 49ers’ wild-card matchup, Samuel caught a slant pass from Brock Purdy, weaved through defenders and eventually got tackled near the Seahawks’ 15-yard line.
Abram toyed with Samuel by twisting the receiver’s leg after he was down.
Samuel pointed to referees to do something – which ultimately led to the two teams fighting on the field. No penalty was called on Abram.
After the scuffle, Purdy scored on a quarterback sneak to put the 49ers up 23-17. San Francisco’s offense exploded a quarter later. An Elijah Mitchell touchdown preceded a 74-yard touchdown catch from Samuel to put the 49ers up 38-17 in the fourth quarter.
