The two were involved in a skirmish after Jake Moody missed a third field goal in Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers

Head coach Kyle Shanahan clarified what went down, before calling the general response to the incident an "overreaction." Shanahan told reporters Monday that Pepper "overreacted a little bit" after Samuel challenged Moody to raise his level of play. That led to the star wide receiver shoving the long snapper, and things escalated a bit from there.

After Moody missed his 44-yard attempt that kept the Niners up three points, the Fox broadcast focused in on an incident on the 49ers sidelines. Samuel walked up to long snapper Taybor Pepper and grabbed the teammate by the throat. Pepper followed Samuel and shouted back at the wide receiver. But the entire scene was odd and honestly embarrassing.
