National reaction to 49ers Dre Greenlaw getting ejected for shoving Eagles’ Dom DiSandro

The 49ers and Eagles have reached the hated rival status after an ugly out-of-bounds situation that resulted in linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Philadelphia’s chief of security, Dom DiSandro, getting ejected.

DeVonta Smith took offense to Greenlaw slamming him to the turf after a catch, and words were exchanged between both teams. During the mini-skirmish, Greenlaw shoved DiSandro in the face, causing another scuffle, before penalties were assessed and both men ejected.

The Eagles promptly responded with a 10-play, 58-yard touchdown-scoring drive buoyed by huge catches from A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
