49ers’ Kyle Shanahan had some words for his star wide receiver Deebo Samuel.

Kyle Shanahan continued to address the heated scuffle involving Deebo Samuel throwing a punch on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has kept his team in the fight for the NFC West title. But he had to address some in-fighting on the sidelines involving star wide receiver Deebo Samuel on Wednesday, handing Samuel some advice moving forward.Samuel got spotted confronting placekicker Jake Moody about missing his third field goal during the Sunday win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Long-snapper Taybor Pepper stepped in to defend Moody. However, the scene escalated with Samuel appearing to grab at Pepper’s throat.

Shanahan addressed the matter with the media in Santa Clara. The head coach’s advice?

“Regardless of what happens, you don’t throw a punch,” Shanahan said. “And you see what happens when that happens.”

Samuel settled for five receptions and tallied 62 yards. Moody eventually hit the game-winning field goal to lift the 49ers to the 23-20 road victory.

Samuel won’t face internal discipline for his role in the scuffle. He also won’t face NFL action. Still, the sideline altercation emerged as a major topic for Shanahan’s presser and across the league.
