The Seahawks running back and 49ers cornerback played physically during and after the play, with Lenoir ending up on his back.
Rivalries tend to be feisty, and the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers weren’t exactly changing holiday cards last Sunday.
For the second game in a row, the Seahawks did not incur any fines from the NFL for on-field incidents. This was a tiny bit surprising given the on-field scuffle between star running back Kenneth Walker III and 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir. Walker was blocking Lenoir on a 3rd down play late in the second quarter, and that’s when things got extra chippy.
Lenoir charged at Walker after the play, and Walker responded by taking him down. We may need to see Walker get some snaps on defense with that sort of ability to drag players to the ground.

Offsetting personal foul penalties were assessed only to Walker and Lenoir, despite pushing and shoving by players from both sides in the ensuing brouhaha.
The story here is that Walker won the impromptu fight in addition to the game and he didn’t lose any of his game check. That’s basically a triple win for K9.
For what it’s worth, no 49ers players were fined so that’s about as much of a W as they were able to get.
And while Lenoir deleted this tweet, Pepperidge Farm remembers...
