On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers, led by their star quarterback Brock Purdy, went against the Green Bay Packers in an exciting divisional round game. During the heated game, the 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings and the Packers defensive back Corey Ballentine got into a fierce scuffle on the sidelines.

During the third quarter of the game, the 49ers were trailing by 6 points and were facing a crucial 3rd down 6 from their own 28-yard line. Quarterback Brock Purdy, who took the snap from the shotgun position, connected with George Kittle on the play, who completed the catch and ran for several more yards for a big gain.

During the crucial play, the Niners receiver Jauan Jennings had blocking duties and helped create a free path for Kittle to gain more yards. Jennings — who was blocking the Packers’ CB Corey Ballentine — took the DB for a ride and played through the whistle.

Ballentine put up a good fight and even pushed Jennings into the Gatorade cooler in the Packers sidelines, but Jennings got the job done and helped Kittle make a huge play. Check out the footage of the heated scuffle attached below.

As the two players continued to drag each other, Jennings got help from a few of his Packers teammates before the officials managed to separate them. Immediately after this incident, the Niners went on to score a touchdown and took a one-point lead. The touchdown was sparked by Kittle’s big play, which was possible because of Jennings’ huge block during the 3rd downplay.

In his absence, the 26-year-old Jauan Jennings stepped up big time and made some huge plays to help Brock Purdy and the Niners defeat the Green Bay-based football team. Jennings caught 5 passes for 61 yards, including some clutch 3rd down conversions, which was crucial since Purdy was struggling a lot on Saturday.

Eventually, Jennings and the 49ers managed to secure a victory against the Packers and advanced to the Conference championship game for the third year in a row. They have failed to win the decisive game in the last two years.

In the NFC game, the 49ers will face the winner of Sunday’s divisional-round game between the NFC North champions, Detroit Lions, and the NFC South champions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
