The San Francisco 49ers are known as one of the most physical teams in the NFL but late in the first half against the Vikings they showed what appeared to be a dirty side.
With 42 seconds left on the clock, Kirk Cousins completed an 8-yard pass to T.J. Hockenson. As Hockenson was pushing forward for more yards, Vikings center Garrett Bradbury charged in with a push and ended up on the ground alongside Hockenson. San Francisco linebacker Dre Greenlaw can then be seen on the replay shoving his knee into the chest of Bradbury.

Former Vikings linebacker Ben Leber reacted to the play on Twitter saying, “B**** move. Expect that FedEx on Wednesday,” suggesting that a fine could be coming Greenlaw’s way.
