49ers defender headbutts Seahawks star during blowout playoff loss

Sam Darnold spoke on the Seattle Seahawks' 41-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL Divisional Round.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was seen headbutting Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba during their blowout playoff loss on Saturday night.

The incident occurred in the second half of the game. Lenoir and Smith-Njigba had words before the defensive player smashed his helmet into the Seahawks receiver’s facemask. No penalty was called as it appeared officials missed the incident.

"Jax always wanted a little brother to bully. Welcome to the family," Canaan Smith-Njigba wrote on X.
